>When this didn't work, the king, himself, was excommunicated.
>Caving-in under that pressure, John wrote a letter of concession
>to the pope, hoping to have the interdict and the excommunication
>lifted (1213). John's concession which, in effect, made England a

>induced by force or compelled by fear, but of our own good and
>spontaneous will and by the common counsel of our barons, do

> Washington declared, under the War Powers, acting as

>Constitutional guarantee of a Republican form of government to

>if delegated authority is taken under the War Powers, not ceded

> The Constitution granted legislative authority to Congress
>only over a ten square mile District, making Congress the supreme
>authority, Article 1, sec. 1., sec. 8.18, over the District.
>Washington extend this District without Constitutional authority.
>Washington put in place officers of the District to oversee the
>District States. As a result of the military rule imposed by
>Washington, District courts and Appeals courts were ordered to
>enforce collection and fines and imprisonment of anyone defying
>the laws of the United States. THESE DISTRICTS CREATED BY GEORGE
>WASHINGTON HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED.
> The Judicial Districts were created by the Judiciary Act of
>1789, two years before Washington said Congress gave him
>additional powers, thereby HE created District States, so the
>federal government could use the militias to crush the tax
>protesters in Pennsylvania, by Washington's order. Since the
>Judicial Districts already existed, why did they recreate them?
>Washington said he was dividing the United States into District
>States. He said DIVIDING THE STATES, listen, DIVIDING THE
>STATES, not creating districts in the states, DIVIDING THE STATES
>into DISTRICTS, changing them, or you would not DIVIDE THEM,
>because the states were already divided. How can you DIVIDE,
>SEPARATE the states, made by the state and federal
>Charters/Constitutions? Why do this when Congress already had
>the power to put down rebellion, Article I, section 8, U.S.
>Constitution? This was an excuse to DIVIDE the states into
>DISTRICTS, extending the jurisdiction of the District of
>Columbia/Congress and delegating to the President, authority
>given to Congress to suppress insurrection, under Art. I, sec. 8.
>
>Second, the use of any military power before Congress declares
>war, by direction of the President is done by him as
>Commander-in-Chief. Until Congress declares war they cannot stop
>the President unless they impeach him, or when they declare war
>they can stop the President with their power of the purse, unless
>the President were to then declare a national emergency, as
>Commander-in-Chief, overriding Congress, in effect declaring
>himself king, or in our case anyone holding that office, which we
>now have. I disagree with the un-Constitutional emergency powers
>claimed by the President, but unless the Judiciary declares the
>President out of line, you or I cannot change this, unless you or
>I were elected President, and declared this power
>un-Constitutional, but Congress would then impeach you or I to

>power comes from their operating under executive jurisdiction,
>insular capacity, see DOWNES v. BIDWELL, 182 U.S. 244 (1901),
>which was allowed by the Judiciary, beginning with what
>Washington did. Because it was up to the Judiciary to declare
>what Congress was doing as un-Constitutional, and up to
>Washington to not take power delegated to Congress. This power
>was affirmed by the Congressional Act of 1845, and in the
>1850's by the insular cases. This created precedent for Congress
>to continue to cede power to the President, delegated to them in
>the Constitution.

>Third, the Districts Washington created answered directly to the

> (Six weeks after) the capitulation of Yorktown, the king of
>Great Britain, in his speech to Parliament (Nov. 27, 1781),

>relief, those essential rights and permanent interests, upon the
>maintenance and preservation of which the future strength and
>security of the country must forever depend." The determined
>language of this speech, pointing to the continuance of the
>American war, was echoed back by a majority of both Lords and
>Commons.
> In a few days after (Dec. 12), it was moved in the House of
>Commons that a resolution should be adopted declaring it to be

> "If America gives you taxable objects on which you lay your

>foreign sale of her commodities to pay the duties on these
>objects which you tax at home, she has performed her part to the
>British revenue. But with regard to her own internal

>permitted to exhaust herself. She ought to be reserved to a war,
>the weight of which, with the enemies that we are most likely to

>she may serve you, and serve you essentially.
> For that service - for all service, whether of revenue,

>which grows from common names, from kindred blood, from similar
