A discrepancy is found today between the printed U.S. Constitution and the handwritten parchment that the Founders actually signed. The original in the National Archives includes an expiration date, which has already passed. So the Constitution—the entire premise of the American government—is terminated. What do we do now? Are we still a country? Do the laws still apply? What do we do when the president exploits the crisis to declare himself president for life?
