Illinois Homeschool Bill, Alien Enemies Act & Syrian Christian Genocide | 03.22.25

3/24/2025
Parents are protesting a bill in Illinois that targets homeschooling and requires homeschool parents to be monitored by the public school system. In Syria, after President Assad was deposed, a hardcore fundamentalist Islamic faction is in charge, and as they slaughter anyone loyal to the Assad regime, they are targeting Christians as well; murdering them in their homes and in the streets. A federal judge ordered President Trump to halt his deportation of criminal aliens, and Trump's response is totally constitutional.

Mr. Constitution | 02/23/2025 | Enumerated Powers, Fascism, and International Development

2/24/2025
The Constitution states that the powers of the federal government are "herein granted," which is the foundation of the idea that any authorities held by the federal government must be expressly enumerated in the Constitution of the United States, a concept supported by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Donald Trump is being accused of violating the rule of law and placing in danger the constitutional republic. Governor Pritzker of Illinois has gone so far as to state that Trump's rapid pace compares to that of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. Mr. Constitution Douglas V. Gibbs examines the arguments and explains the constitutional original intent and the historical definitions regarding fascism. Then, Mr. Constitution discusses international development (USAID) and if Trump's handling and dismantling of that federal agency is constitutional and within the powers delegated to the President of the United States by the Constitution.

Mr Constitution | 02/15/25 | Constitutional Crisis and an Energetic President

2/17/2025
A Separation of Powers dictates that the operations of the Executive Branch belong to the chief executive, the President of the United States. Yet, organizations and people with no standing are using the courts to unconstitutionally go after President Trump for his actions within the Executive Branch. There is a constitutional crisis going on, but it's not what we are being told. The problem is, we have wandered away from our godly foundation, and we are chasing the rule of man rather than the rule of law. We need We the People and our churches to be active in the public square because the whole foundation that Trump is defending and operating under is supposed to operate on biblical principles. We ARE supposed to have an energetic President, as well as an energetic general population and an energetic church with pastors who understand they are supposed to be our community leaders and that they are supposed to be energetically influential in the public square.

2/10/2025
Are Trump's Executive Orders constitutional? How do they compare to Joe Biden's? What are legislative powers, and how does the separation of powers work? What is the difference between a republic and a democracy and why do we have a federal government rather than a national government? Mr. Constitution explains.

Mr Constitution | 02/01/25 | Godly Principles and the Power of Impoundment

2/3/2025
Our American System was founded on Biblical Godly Principles that we are still fighting for today, and the darkness that shrouds the enemies of the Constitution is becoming more and more apparent as we move forward. Evil, however, is not on the march as we believe and can only exist when there is an absence of Godliness -- like darkness, evil is simply an absence of light. Then, Mr. Constitution explains the Presidential Power of Impoundment, and how that power constitutionally allows the President to suspend federal expenditures as Trump did recently for either review, reallocation, or elimination. That is the President's decision. However, once again, the liberal left progressives have challenged the President, using the courts to control his constitutional allowances. Mr. Constitution Douglas V. Gibbs explains the whole dilemma in detail.

Mr Constitution 01.25.25 Trump Preamble and Birthright Citizenship

1/27/2025
As the first week of Donald Trump's presidency nearly concludes, many questions have arisen. Is he following the Constitution? Is his birthright citizenship executive order constitutional? Is he a President following the rule of law? Is he wielding the powers of the federal government as originally intended, or is he the dictator that the Democrats claim him to be? Mr. Constitution Douglas V. Gibbs examines each of these questions during this episode, working his way through the Preamble of the United States Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause to provide the answers.

Mr Constitution | 01.18.25 | We the People Unity & Trump's Priorities.

1/20/2025
Politicians talk about unity and defending democracy, but what do they really mean? What did the Founding Fathers expect when they wrote the Constitution. What kind of unity did they expect when they provided the words, "We the People"? Then, during the last segment of this Mr. Constitution Hour episode, Douglas V. Gibbs goes over a survey regarding the priorities respondents find most important for the incoming Trump Administration.

Mr Constitution | 01.04.25 | Trump Effect Creeping Incrementalism & NOLA Terror Attack

1/6/2025
The Trump Effect is influencing America, and the world. Donald Trump is not even officially President, yet, but the world is responding in a positive way. However, we have a sick society in need of a Savior. We have been so desensitized to immorality that when the killer of the United Health CEO was mentioned on Saturday Night Live, the crowd cheered. We better get right with God, or our new era of returning to normalcy will be a bumpy ride. The enemies of God, and our Liberty, are out there, not just politically, but as we saw in New Orleans and at the Trump Tower in Las Vegas, they wear the mask of Islam as well and they are willing to strike with terror inside the United States.

I have had folks who don't necessarily agree with me politically ask, "How can you support someone like Trump," referring to the flaws of the man as leveled by media and various other actors. How can such a flawed man be a part of God's Will, or God's Plan? It is not my place to determine if the man is flawed, but I do know God's Plan when I see it. Mr. Constitution explains.

12/9/2024
Title: True Face of Liberty and Presidential Pardons While we have numerous special interest groups and "protected classes" claiming they need preferential treatment in the name of fairness, inclusion, and tolerance, the reality is that identity politics violates the true nature of what liberty is all about. As for presidential pardons, James Madison had something to say about the need for limitations of how a President uses his pardoning power, and Mr. Constitution believes that Biden may not have accomplished completely what he desired with his sweeping blanket pardon of Hunter Biden.

Mr Constitution Hour | 11.30.24 Electoral College, Birthright Citizenship and Lawfare

Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs: Electoral College, Birthright Citizenship, and Lawfare -- A line by line explanation as to why we need to keep the Electoral College, and how it's been tampered with over the last two hundred years. Birthright Citizenship is not in the Constitution, and isn't even supported by the courts as argued. Doug goes over the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause, and the United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898). With the election of Donald Trump as President the Lawfare cases by Democrats is going away...was it even constitutional in the first place?

11/25/2024
Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs: Recess Appointments, Compact of Resistance, and which federal departments we need to constitutionally get rid of -- There are concerns about the likelihood of some of Donald Trump's department head picks being confirmed by the U.S. Senate, so the Trump team has threatened using recess appointments to get them in. Is that constitutional? And, even if it is, would it be wise to take that route? How likely is it? Mr. Constitution explains. Then, Blue State governors and attorney generals have banded together to create a compact called Governors Safeguarding Democracy. Is it constitutional? And, finally, Douglas V. Gibbs addresses the call by Trump to eliminate the Department of Education. Can he? Is it a good idea? What other federal departments may be unconstitutional and either need to be canned, or refined?

From Dangerous Rhetoric to the Election of Trump -- Last episode we talked about dangerous political rhetoric.
