Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) declared the U.S.
Constitution to be 400 years old Wednesday on the House floor, which would mean
it was signed in 1614.
“Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished
members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us
an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces
the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400
years, operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional
and what is not,” she said.
