Constitution of the Union of Everett
The Constitution of the Union of Everett is the supreme law of the Union of Everett. The document outlines the government structure, how it operates, what powers it has and does not have, and the rights of the people, among other subjects. It consists of six articles, establishing government and its three branches, the rights and powers of the individual states, how to amend the Constitution and a clause ensuring the supremacy of the Constitution over any other law or regulation. The Bill of Rights outlines the rights of people, notably written in a manner that prohibits government violation of these rights. The further amendments section outlines changes to the constitution that may adjust how the government operates.
The Constitution of the United States was reviewed by a task force of twenty representatives of the Union of Independent States in April of 1998 and a new reorganization of the national charter was created. Several of the amendments were shifted into their proper places in Article I, Article II and Article IV of Constitution, and several new changes were made to the Bill of Rights. The First Amendment was expanded to encompass associations and unions, the Second Amendment was clarified to ensure a national protection of the right of civilians to own firearms and established the militia separately. Privacy rights and the sovereignty of one's home were merged into a new Third Amendment and due process rights were merged into one Fourth Amendment. Child labor laws were added with sections banning slavery. The right to vote and all associated protections were merged into a Ninth Amendment. Two new rights were enshrined, the rights of children to exercise many of the other rights, and the right of self defense, including against tyrannical government. Two amendments were ratified in 2000, a balanced budget amendment and a mandate that government perform it duties to protect and serve the people, overriding prior English-based common law.
Its current form was ratified by all of the states of the Union of Everett. It has not been changed since January 5, 2000. The first seven articles establish the different parts of the government, how it is to function, its powers and the rights and powers of the states. It also provides for a system to amend the Constitution, mandates its supremacy over all other laws in the nation, and requires government officials to swear to uphold it. Article I establishes the Presidency and the executive government. Article II establishes the Legislature, and Article III establishes the Judiciary. Article IV establishes the powers and rights of the States. Article V establishes the system for amending the Constitution. Article VI prohibits persons who have engaged in treasonous acts from holding public office. Article VII establishes the Constitution's supremacy, and the requirement that all those who hold public office swear to abide by and uphold the Constitution.
A formal physical copy of the Constitution exists, written on paper in ink, and is currently held in a display at the Federal Center Capitol Building. It was written on February 1, 2000 and signed by the then President, Vice President, each member of the House of Representatives, the Senate, the nine justices of the Supreme Court and each Governor of the then 26 states of the Union.

The candidate with the majority of votes in his or her favor, shall be the President of the Union of Everett.
The Congress may determine the time of the day on which the People shall give their votes; which day shall be the same throughout the Union of Everett.
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the Union of Everett, or of a territory or State at the time such a State enters the Union, or at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained the age of thirty years, and been twenty years a resident within the Union of Everett.
The President shall, at stated times, receive for his or her services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he or she shall have been elected, and he or she shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the Union of Everett, or any of them.
The President shall not serve more than two terms. The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 5th day of January, and the terms of their successors shall then begin.
If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his or her term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his or her death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his or her written declaration that he or she is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his or her office, and until he or she transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his or her office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his or her written declaration that no inability exists, he or she shall resume the powers and duties of his or her office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his or her office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his or her office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his or her office.
Before he or she enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the Union of Everett, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Union of Everett."

The President shall have Power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session.
