U.S. Constitution for 21st Century

Facing the 21st century, our nation is seriously handicapped by unqualified, unknowledgeable incumbents in the White House and Congress (literally, a headless nation).

Knowledgeable NATIONAL-GLOBAL LEADERSHIP

Under the new U.S. Constitution for 21^st Century and Beyond, a Universal Academy for Freedom and Democracy will be established to provide the nation with a reservoir of qualified, knowledgeable leaders and managers for national and international policies and programs.

Lacking qualified, knowledgeable leadership--and crippled by a uninformed electorate, USAmerica stumbles along--torn by racial, moral, ethical, and economic warfare and eviscerated by cannibalistic capitalism.

The U.S. Constitution for 21^st Century and Beyond, Article I, establishes new standards of KNOWLEDGE QUALIFICATIONS--not now existent--for all officers and employees of the Government.

Candidates for President, Vice President, and Congress will be required to be graduates of the Universal Academy for Freedom and Democracy--or comparable educational institution--to be eligible for office. To qualify, candidates must pass a National Knowledge Examination.

The National Knowledge Examination will require that candidates be educated in such subject areas as:

U.S. Constitution

Science of Governing Systems

Legislative Process: "How Laws are Made"

National Financing Systems--What They are: How They Work

Military Systems--Composition, Logistics, and Strategy

Free Enterprise and Market Economy Systems--How They Work

Management, coordination, utilization, and replenishment of national resources

Environmental challenges--present and future

Science of developing and utilizing human resources

Principles of ideal world order and peace

Other subjects necessary for effective leadership and efficient management of the nation

Under the new Constitution, Article I, subtopic "Universal Academy for Freedom and Democracy" reads:
"…Within two (2) years after ratification of this Constitution, the Universal Academy for Freedom and Democracy shall be established to qualify scholars for national leadership; to create a high-quality reservoir of national leadership; to conduct studies for continuing improvement and advancement of Representative Democracy; and to be a resource for training international leadership to promote and advance freedom, democracy, human rights, progress, security, and peace around the world."

The new Constitution also provides that:
"Throughout the United States, non-government, educational institutions shall be encouraged to establish comparable curricula to qualify candidates for national and world leadership. The objective shall be to provide the nation and humanity with a reservoir of qualified persons for leadership in national and international affairs for human progress and peace…."

OATH OF OFFICE
Presidents, Members of Congress, and all other officers and employees of Government, elected or appointed officers and employees shall pledge honor, dedication, and duty by Oath of Office:

"I, (name), do hereby swear, or affirm:

To support and defend principles of the Constitution

To faithfully endeavor to fulfill objectives of law, regulations, and other enactments of Congress and laws of the nation

To faithfully, willfully, and validly serve the will of citizens of the nation

To strongly oppose any undue influence directly affecting performance of duties of office that would degrade the quality and integrity of service to citizens of the nation

To be vigilant against any efforts to undermine, subvert, or otherwise degrade the Constitution and Government by consent of the governed

To conduct my office in accordance with the highest ethical, moral, and human-value standards

In support of these noble purposes, I pledge, without reservation, my loyalty, dedication, work, and life."

Background…
Adopted more than 200 years ago, the existing Constitution does not require KNOWLEDGE QUALIFICATIONS for high office. The only Constitutional eligibility standards for President, Vice President, and Congress are age, residence, and citizenship. Under such obsolete and insufficient criteria, residents of mental institutions qualify for the highest offices of the land.

In establishing KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS for enactment of laws, the Committee System of Congress identifies more than 100 major subjects that require decision-making by Members of Congress and the President.

A review of the official Congressional Directory delineating educational and experience backgrounds of Members of Congress, however, reveals that they usually possess knowledge in only 1 field--rarely more--reflecting insufficient knowledge necessary to make valid decisions on major issues facing the nation. Ratification of the new, proposed U.S. Constitution for 21st Century and Beyond will rectify this illogical, irrational, and handicapping deficiency in national leadership by educating a reservoir of knowledgeable, well-qualified leadership for decision making in national and international affairs.

The new Constitution establishes valid, realistic standards of KNOWLEDGE QUALIFICATIONS--not now existent--for President, Vice President, Members of Congress, and all officers and employees of the Government.

Under the old Constitution, Presidents and Members of Congress possess less than 5% of knowledge necessary to make valid decisions on major issues facing the nation.

Without qualified leadership--and an informed electorate--USAmerica remains crippled by non-competence in high office--racial, ethical, and moral warfare--and evisceration by economic cannibalism of CAPITALISM.
