The Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution establishes the beginning and ending of the terms of the elected federal offices. It also deals with scenarios in which there is no President-elect. This amendment helped cut down on time between election days and the beginning of a person's term.
I say good riddance to Bush and his terrible presidency. Hello Obama and hopefully another four years.
Ah those boos were like music to my ears, na na na na hey hey hey good bye Bush!

The womenfolk want to vote too!
The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits each state and the federal government from denying any citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's sex. This amendment protects women and more recently, transexuals from being denied the right to vote.
This video is sad and funny at the same time. Suffragist leaders would cry and hang their head's in shame today given the lack of knowledge young women these days have about the suffrage movement.
Those girls in the first video should watch this video and hopefully they might learn something.

No more liquid courage
The 18th amendment in our constitution which was later repealed by the 21st, established prohibition or the illegalization of alcohol. Ah its such a shame this amendment was repealed, because I don't drink and alcohol is a dangerous and powerful legal drug.
Oh yes the good ole days of drunken debauchery and stupidity came back, yay!
I agree with Mr. Mackey, drugs are bad umkay? Alcohol is a drug so its bad too umkay?

Vote for your senate too!
The Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution established direct election of United States Senators by popular vote. This is how all our favorite senators become elected.
Oo our senate would be much more interesting if they debated like that.
Those senators are terrible, and I hope they aren't reelected for future terms.

Don't we love taxes?
The 16th amendment brings us the oh so wonderful right to be taxed. The I.R.S. gets to audit people each year thanks to this fantastic amendment.
That is some beautiful propaganda there by our government during World War 2. I bet that cartoon got many an american to want to pay their income tax.
Tax man Max sure makes me want to pay my taxes. What an educational way to teach children about the joys of taxes.

Let my people vote!
Section 1 of 15th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2: The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
I wonder if they were making sure people voted for Obama?
Nice try McCain, even with a rigged machine you still lost.

What about my citizenship?
The 14th amendment made freed slaves citizens of the United States, thus guaranteeing them more rights than previously had, except the right to vote.
This video is interesting because the narrator talks about how the United States isn't a real country, but a collectively of states, hence our name. Its interesting given that Texas and other larger states consider themselves countries already so hopefully not too many watch this video.
I think the sad thing about this video is that a good number of American citizens wouldn't pass this test, so I could only imagine a foreigner attempting it.
