4 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
Do you know what the Constitution ACTUALLY says? This witty and highly relevant annotation of our founding document is the go-to guide to how our government really works (or is supposed to work). Written by political savant and entertainment veteran, Ben Sheehan, and vetted for accuracy by experts in the field of constitutional law, OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? is an entertaining and accessible guide that explains what the Constitution actually lays out. With clear notes and graphics on everything from presidential powers to Supreme Court nominations to hidden loopholes, Sheehan walks us through the entire Constitution from its preamble to its final amendment (with a bonus section on the Declaration of Independence). Besides putting the Constitution in modern-day English so that it can be understood, OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? gives readers all of the info they need to be effective voters and citizens in the November elections and beyond.

Read this book! Funny, factual, irreverent, intelligent Sheehan breaks down the constitution & amendments by explaining them & the ways they have been used to shape our country. Every time the author shares his POV he is clear that it's an opinion. I felt like I was learning so much & yet he keeps it moving quickly & adds humor. Essential reading for those of us that want a reminder of what the constitution actually says & some context for why.

“It‘s weird that a country run by the People is full of people who don‘t know how it runs…It seems convenient for some that most of us are in the dark.” 💯

I really enjoyed this “non-boring guide”. Sheehan makes the US Constitution make a little more sense for the general American. The multiple references to Hamilton were also fun. Honestly, I learned more from that musical (and this book) than I did in any of my high school classes 😬

A document everyone seems to think they know, however few have actually. One on the main reason many haven‘t read it is because it‘s dull reading. This book breaks the Constitution down in an informative way. There‘s no excuse not to read the constitution now.
