He said. "This amendment is as phony as a $3 bill." It is precisely the economists of the Nation who are saying to us. we do not have the knowledge to implement this kind of amendment. It is a hoax. as referred to by George F. Will. scarcely a member of Social Democrats. Inc. The report with the algebraic formula refers to national income. to be placed in the Constitution. by six different possible definitions. Amendment XIV begins. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States. and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. are citizens of the United States." Can you imagine that report saying. "We recognize five definitions of persons and 16 possible definitions of citizens?" Mr. President. this amendment is as phony as a $3 bill and it ought to end.
