COTUS, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence - Bomb proof vault

[jimnyc]

I never knew this honestly. Very interesting! All 3 are highly protected. Protected as in keeping the environment, temperature and light at a constant, locked in cases, and then lowered into a scissor vault nightly, or in an emergency. Putting a short video at the bottom for anyone interested in seeing it in action.

Every Night the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence Are Lowered Into A Bomb-Proof Vault

Where do they keep the Charters of Freedom, which is the collective name for the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence, when these aren't on display at the National Archives building?

Answer: Underground in a bomb-proof vault.

According to Atlas Obscura, "Every night (and at the press of a button, should the need arise) a special elevator pulls them underground into a custom-built armored vault.

The original vault was built in 1953 by the Mosler Safe Company. The firm was the logical choice, having previously taken on notable achievements like the gold bullion vault at Fort Knox, and a bank vault in Hiroshima that survived an atomic bomb."

The items are raised straight up from the vault to where they are displayed, when they are, and lowered back down underground at the end of the day. A LOT of stuff at the Smithsonian is protected that way. People don't realize there's more crap underground in DC than above it.

Everyone's seen pictures of the Pentagon, I assume. Underneath that huge citadel you see is an entire city, Shopping mall. Mass transit. The works.

Nope, all new to me! I think it's awesome though that they preserve them like this. And in today's age, if not fully secured...

They didn't have xerox back then :). Copies were hand written, at the time and signed. The location of the "actual", first documents is classified.

Even if these dirtbags nowadays got the copies out of the Smithsonian thinking they scored, joke's on them.

The left destroys it without touching it.

Had not looked at it that way. Sad. :( :(

I think congress should be forced to read portions out loud of it daily, if not all of it, to learn it and know it and respect it and follow it.

It is sad. We keep deviating from it.

Also those who consider the cotus a "living document"...

The left pretty much calls it irrelevant, dead white guys.

The right “cherishes” it, but doesn’t really stick with it.

Let's just be bold and say...."BREAKING THE LAWS".
Anyone who doesn't follow what it was written for, and intended to do....

IS BREAKING OUR LAWS!
