This may be the greatest crackpot theory I've came up with, what if the Articles of Confederation are actually still law today?
Apparently both the U.S Constitution and the Articles are considered organic law, meaning they serve as the foundation for all U.S law.
Apparently the words "citizen" and "employee" are synonymous to each other, as proven by 26 USC 3401(c)[1] and a statement by Obama where he said "citizen" was the highest title.[2][3]
Furthermore, the word "State" is defined to include D.C[4] and any territory or possession of the United States.[5] The Buck Act, in particular created a concept known as the "federal zone" and the concept of proper noun States, where D.C effectively created a paper overlay over the 50 states of the Union.[6] Finally, only government employees/citizens are allowed to be in D.C.[7]
So what if the U.S Constitution actually applies only to U.S citizens and the Articles of Confederation applies to common noun state citizens and state nationals? After all, it wouldn't make sense for a non-employee to be eligible for a position like the Board of Directors (Congress) or the CEO (president).
Let me know your thoughts!
