Frequently Asked Questions

What does this collection of "constitution" quotes cover?
It ranges from privacy rights, to presidential duty, equal citizenship, and a real political debate over how the Constitution should be interpreted.

Yes: "Next to upholding the Constitution of the United States, the president's highest duty is to protect the security of this country - our national security."

That's presented as the speaker's own opinion about someone else's intent, not a claim verified or endorsed by this page.
