18:08:31 DUTIES THAT WOULD PROMOTE AMERICANISM.

18:09:31 HAVE A BETTER LIFE.
18:09:33 ALL OF YOU, REALLY, ALL OF US ARE ENDOWED TO INDIVIDUALS
18:09:36 LIKE BILL HAMLIN WHO DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO PROMOTE
18:09:40 NOT ONLY AMERICA BUT ACTIVISM AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE

18:09:51 DIFFERENT THINGS. I DON'T HAVE THEM IN ANY ORDER.
18:09:53 SO I HOPE THAT MR. FRANK SMITH CAN HELP ME OUT.
18:09:57 >> FIRST OF ALL, I'M FRANK SMITH, THE ORATORICAL CHAIRMAN

18:10:07 I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR HONORING OUR

18:10:49 OF THEIR CHOICE, AND THEN A 3 TO 5-MINUTE SPEECH ON ONE

18:12:52 YOU RECEIVE IN THE 2019-2020 U.S. AMERICAN LEGION
18:12:58 ORATORICAL CONTEST ON JANUARY 11, 2020.
18:13:02 IT'S NOT EASY TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
18:13:04 AND JUST SPEAKING AND HAVING FIVE THINGS IN YOUR MIND, I
18:13:08 CAN'T REMEMBER FIVE NAMES, AND YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER FIVE

18:13:21 CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, SIR.
18:13:22 >> THANK YOU.
18:13:23 [ APPLAUSE ]
18:13:25 >> THANK YOU FOR SETTING UP THIS EVENT.
18:13:34 I JUST WANT TO SAY, BEFORE STARTING THIS COMPETITION, I
18:13:39 HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN PUBLIC POLICY AND THE
18:13:42 CONSTITUTION AND JUST AMERICAN HISTORY IN GENERAL.
18:13:45 BUT SIGNING UP FOR THIS COMPETITION, I KNEW IT WAS NOT
18:13:50 GOING TO BE EASY, AND I KNEW I WOULD HAVE TO WORK.
18:13:54 THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT I FOR MYSELF AND MANY
18:13:57 PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY THAT JUST DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT
18:14:03 THE CONSTITUTION OR HISTORY.
18:14:07 SO THERE WAS REALLY A LOT THAT I LEARNED BEING PART OF
18:14:11 THIS COMPETITION SO FAR.
18:14:13 AND I REALLY AM GOING TO WORK TO DO WELL AT THE STATE
18:14:17 COMPETITION.
18:14:18 THANK YOU.
18:14:18 [ APPLAUSE ]
18:14:24 >> THE POST WILL ALSO GIVE HIM A CERTIFICATE OF
18:14:27 APPRECIATION FOR COMPLETING THE PUBLIC SPEAKING PART AND
18:14:30 A CITATION FROM THE POST.
18:14:38 NOW, AT THIS TIME WE WILL DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
18:14:40 PUT THOSE DOWN.
18:14:41 YOU NEED YOUR HANDS.
18:14:42 ALL RIGHT.
18:14:48 HE'S GOING TO GIVE A THREE TO FIVE MINUTE ORATION, ONE OF
18:14:51 THE PREPARED SPEECHES.
18:14:52 THE TOPIC THIS YEAR IS THE FOURTH AMENDMENT 12th
18:14:56 AMENDMENT. THIS IS THE AMENDMENT THAT WAS IN RESPONSE TO
18:14:59 THE POLITICAL TREACHERY AND ELECTORAL COLLEGE PROCESS
18:15:02 MELTDOWN THAT OCCURRED AFTER THE ELECTION OF 1800.
18:15:06 THAT WAS WITH JEFFERSON, BURR, AND HE'S GOING TO GIVE A
18:15:10 THREE TO FIVE MINUTE SPEECH ON THAT.
18:15:18 [RUSTLING PAPERS]
18:15:19 >> WE HAVE BEEN A NATION FOR WELL OVER 200 YEARS, YET THE
18:15:28 CONSTITUTION HAS ONLY BEEN AMENDED 27 TIMES.
18:15:34 THIS TELLS ME THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHER'S DID A TREMENDOUS
18:15:37 JOB OF CREATING GUIDELINES THAT WERE BOTH FAIR AND
18:15:42 RELEVANT TO THE PROBLEMS WE FACE.
18:15:46 IT IS ONLY APPROPRIATE THAT THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT
18:15:49 AMENDED OFTEN BECAUSE, AFTER ALL, IT IS THE TOUCHSTONE
18:15:53 GOVERNING DOCUMENT OF OUR HISTORY.
18:15:57 OUR FOUNDING FATHER'S MEANT FOR IT TO BE DIFFICULT TO
18:15:59 CHANGE.
18:16:00 SO WHENEVER IT IS AMENDED, IT IS FOR A VERY IMPORTANT
18:16:04 ISSUE THAT IMPACTS OUR NATION AS A WHOLE.
18:16:09 THE 12th AMENDMENT ADDRESSED JUST SUCH AN ISSUE.
18:16:13 IT CORRECTED FLAWS IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM WHICH
18:16:16 WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTROVERSIAL PRESIDENTIAL
18:16:20 ELECTION OF 1800.
18:16:24 IN WHICH FEDERALIST PRESIDENT JOHN ADAMS WENT UP AGAINST
18:16:29 REPUBLICAN THOMAS JEFFERSON.
18:16:32 UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, EACH OF THE STATES ELECTORS VOTED
18:16:36 FOR TWO CANDIDATES.
18:16:37 THE TWO CANDIDATES WHO WERE BELIEVED TO BE THE BEST
18:16:41 PRESIDENTS.
18:16:42 THE PERSON WHO HAD THE MOST VOTES BECAME PRESIDENT AND
18:16:47 THE RUNNER-UP BECAME VICE PRESIDENT.
18:16:50 THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN ELECTORS CAST BOTH THEIR VOTES,
18:16:54 HOWEVER, FOR THE PARTY'S CANDIDATES.
18:16:57 THOMAS JEFFERSON IN HIS RUNNING MATE AARON BURR.
18:17:02 THE RESULT WAS AN EXACT TIE.
18:17:05 EACH MAN RECEIVING 73 VOTES.
18:17:10 ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION, IF EACH CANDIDATE RECEIVED
18:17:14 A MAJORITY OF THE ELECTORAL VOTES BUT WERE TIED, THE
18:17:19 HAPPY HOLIDAYS WOULD DECIDE WHICH ONE WOULD BE PRESIDENT.
18:17:23 THE HOUSE VOTED 35 TIMES OVER FIVE DAYS, YET NEITHER
18:17:30 CANDIDATE RECEIVED A MAJORITY.
18:17:32 IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE 36th VOTE, AND AFTER ALEXANDER
18:17:37 HAMILTON, WHO HATED BURR, ADVISED THAT THOMAS JEFFERSON
18:17:41 WAS ULTIMATELY THE BETTER CHOICE, THAT THOMAS JEFFERSON
18:17:45 BECAME OUR PRESIDENT.
18:17:48 THE TIE VOTE BETWEEN JEFFERSON AND BURR EXPOSED THIS
18:17:52 PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM.
18:17:54 IN 1804, THE 12th AMENDMENT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY
18:17:59 PROVIDING FOR SEPARATE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES FOR
18:18:04 PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
18:18:07 THE 12th AMENDMENT HIMSELF MODIFIED THE WAY THAT TIE
18:18:10 VOTES WOULD BE BROKEN.
18:18:12 THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WOULD CHOOSE ONLY THE
18:18:15 PRESIDENT FROM THE TOP THREE CHOICES OF THE ELECTORS FOR
18:18:19 THAT OFFICE.
18:18:21 THIS IS HOW THE 1824 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS DECIDED.
18:18:26 THE HOUSE VOTED FOR JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
18:18:29 PURSUANT TO THE 12TH AMENDMENT, THE SENATE WOULD CHOOSE
18:18:32 THE VICE PRESIDENT FROM THE TOP TWO CHOICES OF ELECTORS
18:18:37 FOR THAT SPECIFIC OFFICE.
18:18:40 ALTHOUGH IT IS PROBABLY UNKNOWN TO MOST PEOPLE, THE
18:18:43 FASCINATING HISTORY OF THE 12TH AMENDMENT WAS FEATURED IN
18:18:47 THE HIT BROAD WAY PLAY "HAMILTON" AND ITS IMPACT REMAINS
18:18:53 IMPORTANT TODAY.
18:18:53 THANK YOU.
18:18:54 [ APPLAUSE ]
18:19:05 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I LEARNED A LOT JUST IN THE LAST FIVE
18:19:08 MINUTES.
18:19:08 I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
18:19:13 YOU TAUGHT ME SOMETHING AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, TO
18:19:18 ADVISE US AND GIVE US SOME INSIGHT ON WHAT HAPPENED.
18:19:21 IN FACT WHEN THEY TALK ON TELEVISION THEY TALK ABOUT THE
18:19:25 ELECTORAL COLLEGE, THEY TALK ABOUT THE VOTE, SO YOU WERE
18:19:29 RIGHT ON TARGET.
18:19:29 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
18:19:31 AND HE WILL BE GOING TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT, THE STATE
18:19:34 CHAMPIONSHIP THE SECOND SATURDAY IN MARCH.
18:19:36 GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
18:19:37 >> THANK YOU.
