Prelude
We the writers of the Constitution have decided to form a more-than-perfect union, establish just ice (no water) and ensure domestic tranquilizers. Article I
Section 1. Congress shall have two houses: the House of Representatives and the Neighbors, neither of which is allowed to have a combined IQ higher than celery.
Section 2. No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained the age of puberty.
Section 3. The Senate shall be composed of two Senators from each state, whose primary job shall be to decide whether the first of April shall begin: National Garbage Disposal Safety Week or National Lawyer Appreciation Week.
Section 4. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall be held on the coldest, most wretched day of the year, namely, the first Monday of December; unless Congress has reason to suspect an even colder, more wretched day in the forecast.
Section 5. (Note to editor: Remind Benjamin Franklin to come up with something to put here before publication.)
Section 6. The Congress shall receive compensation for their troubles of searching for a suitable name for the first week of April.
Section 7. The President shall have to sign his own name on each bill that is to be passed. He does not, however, have to actually read the bill.
Section 8. Congress shall have the power to:
- Create a National Debt
- Declare war on unfavorable nations
- Punish piracy on the high seas, but not the low ones
- Establish an army, but not an Air Force
- Monopolize the postal service
- Create inflation in the form of excessive green paper with dead people’s faces
- Create National Zit Puss Week
- Provide way more taxation than you would ever want representation for
Section 9. Members of Congress may not receive bribes from other nations without doing so in secret.
Section 10. No state(s) shall try to switch sides and sneak off to some other country.

Article II
Section 1. The Presidential election shall consist of the following steps:
1.There must be at least one idiot representing every political party ever formed since the fall of the Roman Empire, but only two shall stand a chance of winning.
2.The two best parties shall have completely opposite views.
3.All Presidential candidates shall be tall. It is also preferable that the First Lady be tall, but not at the expense of having a short President.
4.The winners from all the parties shall campaign on TV and slingshot mud at each other. This shall draw ratings in the sub-zero zone.
5.Then one of the parties shall take poor people and give them cigarettes and voting ballots.
6.Then, after many months, all the rest of the citizens shall inquire of each other: “Hey! Aren’t we having some kind of important election?”
7.Then the ballot counting process shall be broadcast by every major network in the nation by broadcasters using enthusiasm usually only associated with golf tournaments.
8.In the end, the elected President shall start his next campaign within two days after moving into the White House.
9.The Electoral College shall have no role whatsoever.
Section 2. The Army and Navy, but not the Air Force, exists for the President’s amusement; even though he’s been trying to get the Air Force added to the Constitution for a while. Because let’s face it, it’s more exciting to watch airplanes than tanks.
Section 3. It is possible to change the Constitution, but only if it benefits the current members of Congress.
Section 4. If any President, Vice President, or civil officer of the United States is found guilty of a crime, he shall be promoted unless he’s already president, in which case he shall appear on Oprah.
Section 4.5. No one may sneak fractions of sections into the Constitution.

Article III
Section 1. The Supreme Court shall never resolve the abortion issue.
Section 2. (Note to editor: Insert James Madison’s witty remark here.)
Section 3. Thou shalt not commit treason against the United States.

Article IV
Section 1. (Note to editor: Dont forget too chek for speling and punctuacion erorrs before publicashun,)
Section 2. Citizens of all the states shall be entitled to the same privileges and rights as everyone else, provided that that citizen is an independently wealthy, white business man between the heights of 5′10″ and 6′2″. If a specific citizen who does not fall into these standards attempts to sue the U.S. government for discrimination, then the FBI shall take him into custody and force him to recant.
Section 3. States may be admitted to the Union, but states may not be separated. South Dakota, South Carolina, and West Virginia are anomalies that the government should not claim.
Section 4. Middle Easterners shall all wear stupid head coverings and the men shall wear skirts and look like Loony Toones. Americans, however, shall pretend not to notice.
