Constitution 101: Article 1 in Layman's Terms – Power & Politics

Recorded March 26, 2025
Get ready for a no-nonsense layman's dive into Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution! Jamie and I rip through Sections 1-10, explaining Congress’s powers, limits, and how it all plays out—from lawmaking and impeachment to gerrymandering and election chaos. We’re talking real-world examples: FDR’s New Deal, Trump’s wall, Obama’s pen, and a Michigan kid accidentally voting illegally.

Thank you so much @RealCharlieKirk from Turning Point USA, who sent us the Constitution that sparked this series—thanks for the inspiration, Charlie! It’s the people’s guide to the nation’s lawmakers—raw, unfiltered, with history, debate, and some Founding Father paranoia. Is Congress still king, or are presidents and courts twisting it like pretzels? Drop your take below—we’re ready to argue it out! Next up: Article 2. @RealCharlieKirk @turningpointusa
