Disagree all you want but you guys can't cite portions of the Constitution that have been amended and say the amendment is unconstitutional. that doesn't even make sense. The whole point of being able to amend the Constitution is the ability to change it when needed.

I can see what you are saying if the constitution said that there could be no direct or unapportioned taxes and then a constitutional amendment was made that stated that this limitation would no longer be valid.

THEN they could make the 16th amendment.

You have to state that you are undoing these restrictions.

But the 16th amendment created an ability for a direct & unapportioned tax flying directly in the face of a specific and unamended limitation.

I don't know what makes you think that. You don't have to state you are undoing anything. Look at the twelfth amendment it changes how we elect the President, just by saying this is how we do it. Not by saying the old way is herby abolished.

One of the things that make me think that is that I am a board member for a non profit organization and I know that you have to go through specific channels to do things.

If you want to do something that flies in the face of your by laws then you have to first amend that portion of the by law and then you make the motion to do things differently.

You don't just ignore the by law and do what you want to. If you don't want that limitation to be there any longer you have to disable it first... and then move on with the new motions.

This is parlimentary procedure 101.

We of course have to keep minutes of meetings and abide by rulings.

I was never answered when Obama had the Chairman of GM fired without a notice of meeting and a board meeting and vote to fire him.

Well then lets toss the 12th and tell BO he is not the President because they didn't change the Constitution like you think they should. A Constitutional Amendment changes the Constitution. The 12th did it for elections of Presidents and the 13th did it with slavery.

Did either of the ammendment prohibit something that was previously allowed?
No.

The 12th clarified & the 13th bared a practiced in which the Constitution previously did not state except to further state that "all men are free!"

The 12th completely changed the way we elect presidents, it didn't clarify. And the 13th took property that was recognized in the Constitution without just compensation.

so the same as America.

You create a corporate charter
Articles of incorporation
Rules, laws and bylaws
Formal meetings using parliamentary procedures.
