Summary

As citizens, we all have a duty to study the Constitution, to understand where our rights and our freedoms are laid out in that document, and how our government structure should work. The reason our government continues to overstep its boundaries is that "we the people" don"t know what those boundaries are! Tune in now for the first part of our four-part series! Support the show

We are about to begin a special program for you this week. If you've been listening the last couple of months, we've introduced you a couple of times to Constitutional Live with David Barton and Rick Green. This is our Constitution program. We call it the Quick Start Guide to the Constitution because in about 12 hours of material, we take you on a crash course through the Constitution, the Declaration, and the founding principles of America. We spend about half of our time in Philadelphia, in the room, in Independence Hall, where the Constitution was framed and where our Declaration

occurred. In the other half of the time, we spend in the Walbilders library actually bringing those documents to life for you. David pull stuff off the shelf and just makes it so amazing to find out what these guys were actually saying, what they were doing, what was going on in the world at the time, and what led to them putting in place these incredible founding documents that made our nation so successful and so free.

2:03.0

So it's an incredible program, Constitutional Live with David Barton and Rick Green, but we want to bring it to you, our listeners here on Walbilders Live and give you a chance to enjoy it as well. And so we've done a couple of the chapters here on Walbilders Live and we wanted to do one this week that was really applicable to what's happening out there in the news and in the world today.

2:23.0

So we thought this week would be a good time to do Constitutional Live, segment six, which is actually about the presidency, where we walk through the presidential powers when we walk through article two of the Constitution and what the proper role the presidency is.

2:39.0

We're even going to talk about the electoral college and these other things. So it's I think going to be a good time to cover this part of Constitutional Live. So what's going to happen is this will take four days for us to share this particular chapter out of Constitutional Live.

2:52.0

And so make sure you tune in the rest of the week and if for some reason you're going to miss a day, then just visit the website at Walbilders Live.com and you can download those programs.

3:00.0

But we also ask that you share these programs with your friends and family because it's not enough for just you to get educated on the Constitution.

3:06.0

You need to get the people around you educated as well and also start teaching them how to take action to restore our Constitutional Republic.

3:13.0

And that's what this program's about. So we're going to jump into Constitutional Live with David Barton and Rick Green. This is actually section six out of Constitutional Live where we talk about the presidency.

3:24.0

Welcome back to Constitutional Live with David Barton and Rick Green. We've been talking about the Congress and the last couple of sections and now we're going to start diving into the presidency.

3:32.0

But before we do that, I want to back up. And the last lesson you talked about science and promoting news for.

3:38.0

Read that clause out of the Constitution. This is our workbook. So this is promoting the progress as the section we want to go to.

3:45.0

So in order for section eight to promote the progress of science and useful arts by securing for a limited time, limited times to authors and inventors, the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.

3:57.0

Now that's an interesting clause. If I tell you the word Noah Webster or Webster, what do you think of?

4:03.0

The dictionary. Exactly. You don't think of a founding father. No Webster is responsible for that clause in the Constitution. So he actually had influence on the Constitution.

4:10.0

He had huge influence. As a matter of fact, he's the second guy in America to call for the Constitutional Convention.

4:15.0

Pelotite Webster was first and Noah Webster was second. Really?

4:18.0

And he's second guy to call for it. And then he did that in 1785. Then they assemble 1787 and do it. He has direct influence. He met with all source of the delegates, met with George Washington, had dinner with him. All these different guys. He was like a lobbyist.

4:30.0

He was a lobbyist for the Constitution. Now he wasn't a scientist. I don't know much about the things that he did.
