Your Congress: Always Looking For New Ideas

Politics & Current Events, WTF?

A few minutes ago someone from Congress' internet domain came here by searching for information about the Pace Amendment. You remember the Pace Amendment. It was the proposal by James O. Pace, a.k.a. L.A. County judicial candidate Bill Johnson, that went like this:

No person shall be a citizen of the United States unless he is a non-Hispanic white of the European race, in whom there is no ascertainable trace of Negro blood, nor more than one-eighth Mongolian, Asian, Asia Minor, Middle Eastern, Semitic, Near Eastern, American Indian, Malay or other non-European or non-white blood, provided that Hispanic whites, defined as anyone with an Hispanic ancestor, may be citizens if, in addition to meeting the aforesaid ascertainable trace and percentage tests, they are in appearance indistinguishable from Americans whose ancestral home is in the British Isles or Northwestern Europe. Only citizens shall have the right and privilege to reside permanently in the United States.

Gosh, maybe this came up in the course of discussing altering the Fourteenth Amendment.

    I notice that he refers to citizens as "he." Is he planning on a total restocking of the United States in a few years, since he clearly isn't allowing women to be citizens?
