You are correct....but that is not what is the blatant disregard of the Constitution....This is the Constitution, Article VI, paragraph 3...last phrase of the last sentence "but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
So?
Cain never suggested that anyone belong to an state sponsored religion. (Religious test.)
It is a religious test to say that one would not appoint someone because of their particular religion...
No dummy, it isn't.
That second year of schooling sure would have helped you...
Your insults are cute...so tell me....how does Cain's comments NOT go against the "no religious test" clause in Article VI?
{The Test Act of 1673 in England obligated all persons filling any office, civil or military, to take oaths of supremacy and allegiance, to subscribe to a declaration against transubstantiation, and to receive the sacrament within three months of taking office.
The oath for the Test Act of 1673 was:
"I, N, do declare that I do believe that there is not any transubstantion in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, or in the elements of the bread and wine, at or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsovever."
In 1678 the act was extended thus:
"I, N, do solemnly and sincerely in the presence of God profess, testify, and declare, that I do believe that in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any Transubstantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ at or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsoever: and that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary or any other Saint, and the Sacrifice of the Mass, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous..."
The necessity of receiving the sacrament as a qualification for office was abolished under George IV, and all acts requiring the taking of oaths and declarations against transubstantiation etc. were repealed by the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829.}
