What?! Missing/Removed (but possibly still legal) Constitutional 13th Amendment re: NO LAWYERS ALLOWED TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE. Interesting article/history lesson. Huge if correct. Synopsis:  1983 expert archival researcher found oldest copy of Constitution 1825.  Had a 13th amendment they say prohibits lawyers serving in public office.  Have since found more authentic copies with 13th amendment printed in at least eighteen separate publications by ten different states and territories over four decades from 1822 to 1860.  This 13th amendment had been legally ratified by the state of Virginia and was therefore an authentic amendment to the American constitution.  Assuming they are correct, this was ratified in 1819 and removed from our constitution during the civil war.  This amendment was never lawfully repealed and would still be law today.  The implications are enormous.  Read the 13th amendment yourself in this article (and their justification of claim that the language says that no lawyers allowed to hold public office; Titles of Nobility).  These guys say it was ratified by 13 states, not the 12 we told (meaning it was never ratified).  You decide.    "It’s now a well-known fact of life that the legal class of the USA has degenerated into the most untrustworthy and treasonous, deceitful and dishonest.  This certain eventuality was deeply feared by the Founding Fathers of the American Republic.  It was for this very reason that the original 13th Amendment was carefully deliberated and legally ratified.  However, it was then unlawfully removed from the U.S. Constitution “during the tumult of the Civil War” (after being completely ignored for decades)."   "It is because lawyers and attorneys formally registered with the BAR (British Accredited Registry) that they could not be trusted to hold public office in the USA.  By implicitly pledging their allegiance to an entity of a foreign government, they could not be trusted to act in the best interest of the American Republic or its citizens."  "Their loyalty lies elsewhere." Wasn't Lincoln a lawyer?  If these guys are correct...whoa. Sauce:  https://johnbwellsnews.com/the-missing-13th-amendment-no-lawyers-allowed-in-public-office/
