From the research information available it can be reasonably proven that when the Southern states walked out of Congress on March 27, 1861, the quorum to conduct business under the Constitution for the [U]nited States of America was lost. Thus, the only votes that Congress could lawfully take, under parliamentary law, were those to set the time to reconvene, take a vote to get a quorum, and vote to adjourn and set a date, time, and place to reconvene at a later time, but instead, Congress apparently abandoned the House and Senate without setting a date to reconvene. Under the parliamentary law of Congress, when this happened, Congress became sine die (pronounced see-na dee-a; literally meaning "without day") and thus when Congress adjourned sine die, it ceased to exist as a lawful deliberative body, and thus the only lawful, constitutional power that could declare war was no longer lawful, or in session.

It can also be reasonably proven that the Southern states, by virtue of their secession from the Union, also ceased to exist sine die, and that some state legislatures in the Northern bloc also adjourned sine die, and thus, all the states which were parties to creating the Constitution for the united States of America apparently ceased to exist. On April 15, 1861, President Lincoln executed the following executive order, Lincoln Executive Proclamation 1, and it can also be proven that the [U]nited States of America have been ruled ever since by the President under executive powers.

Also it can be reasonably proven that when Congress eventually did reconvene, it was reconvened under the military authority of the Commander-in-Chief and not by Rules of Order for Parliamentary bodies or by Constitutional Law, thus placing the American people under martial rule ever since the "national emergency" declared by President Lincoln. Thus, the Constitution for the [U]nited States of America has subsequently temporarily ceased being the acknowledged law of the land in many courts, and the President, Congress, and the courts have unlawfully presumed that they were free to remake the Union in a new image, whereas, lawfully, no constitutional provisions were in place which afforded power to any of the actions which were taken which presumed to place the Union under the new form of control. next part...

President Lincoln apparently knew that his executive orders no longer had any force under Constitutional Law, and thus he commissioned General Orders No. 100 (April 24, 1863) apparently as a special code to govern his actions under martial law and to justify the seizure of power, which further extended the laws of the District of Columbia and which also fictionally implemented the provisions of Article I, Section 8, Clauses 17-18 of the Constitution beyond the boundaries of Washington, D.C. which theretofore went into the several states. General Orders No. 100, also called the Lieber Instructions and the Lieber Code, have apparently extended the laws of war and private international law into the American states, and the United States government has become the presumed military conqueror of the people and the land of the several nations in the American union.

Martial rule has apparently been kept secret and has never really ended. Lincoln was assassinated before he could complete the implementation of his plan to constitutionally and not militarily reform the Southern state (i.e., national) governments and restore the lawful Congress. Ever since this time the [U]nited States of America has been ruled under military law under the Commander of Chief─the President─and his assumed executive powers according to the policies of Executive Orders: a military dictator type function.

Constitutional law under the original Constitution for the American states is apparently enforced only as a matter of keeping the public peace under the provisions of General Orders No. 100 under martial rule. This "peace" is further evidenced in the Preamble of the so-called Expatriation Act of 1868. And under Martial Rule─where the peoples who are deemed "enemies" of the republics are allowed to to reside─all property─title being a mere illusion or by legal fiction─is presumed to belong to the United States.

President Lincoln was assassinated before he could implement the plans for reforming constitutional government in the Southern States and end the martial rule by executive order. The 14th Article in Amendment to the Constitution has further created a "new citizenship" or "status" for the expanded "federal" jurisdiction of Americans to the federal government by the legislative control on Congress. next part...

The key to when the states became federal franchisees is apparently related to the date when such states enacted the field code in law. The field code was a codification of aspects of the common law that was adopted first by New York and then by California in 1872, and shortly afterwards the Lieber Code was used to bring the United States into the 1874 Brussels Conference and into the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. In 1917, the Trading with the Enemy Act was passed and which defined, regulated, and punished trading with enemies, who were then required by that act to be licensed by the government to do business within the United States of America.

The National Banking System Act (Public Law 73-1, 73rd Congress, Session I, Chapter 1, March 9, 1933), Executive Proclamation 2038 (March 6, 1933), Executive Proclamation 2039 (March 9, 1933), and Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111 and 6260 show that in 1933, the United States Government formed under the executive privilege of the original martial rule went insolvent, and a new state of national emergency was declared under which United States citizens were identified as the "enemy" to the government and to the banking system as per the provisions of the Trading with the Enemy Act. In 1945 the United States gave up additional remaining sovereignty of the several states when it signed the United Nations Treaty Charter, making "U.S. citizens" (citizens of the United States) subject to United Nations jurisdiction through treaties initiated by their "national" legislature, a.k.a., Congress.

And in further regard to treaties: any arguments that suggest that the Treaty of Paris of 1783 was not a lawful treaty of peace between warring nations and that the American colonies never really attained or obtained lawful or legal sovereignty, must also presume─by their own argument─that the Constitution for the [U]nited States of America and the Bill of Rights were never documents of lawful standing. next part...

The conclusion that can be made from all information available is that the Constitution for the [U]nited States of America and the Bill of Rights are no longer in effect in their original or present form or where they conflict with the United Nations Treaty and other international treaties/agreements. People of the several countries in the Union who were previously each collective sovereign bodies and nations that were governed by the common law are now deemed "citizens and nationals of the United States" and are thus subject to international war-time jurisdiction. The several America states in the Union are presently under a perpetual "state of emergency" with private based (Roman) and/or military law being the prevailing system of law.

Subsequent to this, the acts of Congress and President Lincoln were considered unconstitutional by President Johnson, hence the people of America had to be conned into rebelling against their lawful governments to institute a new political/governmental system that is legal, but not lawful. The Fourteenth Amendment took care of this nicely, which will be gone over herein with the following parts of this section of the PAC Site.
