This should not be removed from the Constituion

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

 

I wonder what Aaron Burr and Andrew Jackson would say about this? :smilewinkgrin:

 

I heard one Senator is going to insert an amendment in the bill to at least require the new governor to disclose their banjo playing abilities...or if they are a current Riverboat captain...

 

Maybe Kentucky will insert a provision requiring any gubernatorial candidate to be an active member of a bluegrass band.

 

all states have some stupid laws and other old junk that does not apply anymore, and some never should have, I'm glad some of it is being taken care and gotten rid of. as more should be.

 

I think that provision should stay in the Kentucky Constitution. We don't want anyone dueling again. :tongue3::laugh::smilewinkgrin:

 

As a proud Kentuckian I approve of the oath against dueling. There should also be an oath stating the Governor has bathed at least once a week.:applause:

 

Just in case you want to read the oath:

“ I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this Commonwealth, and be faithful and true to the Commonwealth of Kentucky so long as I continue to be a citizen thereof, and that I will faithfully execute, to the best of my ability, the office of Governor according to law; and I do further solemnly swear that since the adoption of the present Constitution, I, being a citizen of this state, have not fought a duel with deadly weapons within this state, nor out of it, nor have I sent or accepted a challenge to fight a duel with deadly weapons, nor have I acted as second in carrying a challenge, nor aided or assisted any person thus offending, so help me God."

 

They might substitute the Libertarian pledge not to initiate violence.
