What is the 28th amendment?

Why is the US Constitution so hard to amend? - Peter Paccone

There is no 28th amendment to the United States constitution. The 27th amendment delays laws effecting congressional salary until the next election of representatives.

KLAMATH FALLS, OR— BEWARE! There is someone sharing false information about the 28th Amendment by way of IM. Delete it and "DO NOT FORWARD IT"

I DO NOT claim I am the smartest person in the world, but I know BS when I see it. And then, I research it to make sure, I am right.

Viral message quotes a proposed 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, to wit: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives."

Subject: 28th Amendment!
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that Congress members could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn't pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered...in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come. Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States".
Each person contact a minimum of twenty people on their Address list, in turn ask each of those to do likewise. Then in three days, all people in The United States of America will have the Message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

About That Proposed 28th Amendment

Warren Buffett proposed a constitutional amendment that seeks to require laws apply equally to U.S. citizens and members of Congress.


False

This rating indicates that the primary elements of a claim are demonstrably false.




A “proposed 28th Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution (now circulated in modified form as the “Congressional Reform Act of 2017”) is several years old, has nothing to do with American business magnate Warren Buffett, and has not been proposed or submitted by any member of the U.S. Congress or by President Trump:

Warren Buffett is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of 20 people, and to ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in the United States will have the message. This is an idea that should be passed around.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that Congressmembers could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn’t pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered — in all of its forms.

Somehow, that doesn’t seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop. This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come.

This is a great idea. Only need 3/4 of the State Legislatures to pass this to become law… AND IT IS VETO PROOF including no appeal to the Supreme Court.

Let’s get this passed around – Congress has brought this upon themselves!!!
