Question presented
1. If a president/chief signs orders to change things, can this petition be used as a vessel to fix concerns, problems, and situations (identified)? 2. As the 25 th Amendment (of the United States Constitution) is supposed to be a guideline for lawmakers/Congress/senate/house of representatives/etc., what must be done if people (acting under color of law) are identified in continued appearances as complicit with allowing of (highly) illegal and gravely unconstitutional activities, and identified as grossly unfit to hold title (of office)? 3. In what outreach of legislation can personnel in a government capacity pick and choose which (highly) illegal activities to allow, without due process?
