This is not the US constitution; it used to be, but Article I, part of section 8, & all of sections 9 & 10 have been removed (constitution.congress.gov)

Compare with the original, from a few weeks back

Half of section 8, governing Congressional power over the military is removed.

Section 9 had, among other things:

Habeas Corpus the right to get a court hearing instead of arbitrary imprisonment
a ban on foreign emoluments for the US officials (eg: payments from foreign governments)

Section 10 reserved foreign policy for the federal government instead of the states.

Remember "Animal Farm"? When the animals found that part of their consitition that was "All animals are equal" got the addendum "but some are more equal than others"?

Like "1984", that book was a warning, but they took it as an instruction booklet.
