Grievance 11 - Illegal Power

The U.S. Constitution failed to require the government to initiate
amendment procedures when it wanted to change fundamental constitutional
provisions.

A standout issue came to light in 1998 when "national security"
documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that
certain military commanders had been given power to engage in nuclear
war without specific authority, or power of succession, in the
Constitution.

From the time of President Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950's, it was
secret policy that some military commanders could become a "stand-in
President" if there was a nuclear attack on the U.S., and the President,
Vice President, and others in the constitutional line of succession
could not be reached. Under such circumstancs, the commanders could
respond with nuclear weapons on targets of their choice.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural
Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and
Democratic Ideals, constitutional provisions and procedures for change
are powers reserved to the people, inviolable, and enforced.
