Message | Mr. Speaker, This is a form of slavery on the citizens of Rutania. The draft is unconstitutional in violation of the Involuntary clause of the 13th Amendment (OOC). ---The CWFP |

Message | Ooc: involuntary servitude does not include the draft ( look up "selective draft law cases" it of the supream court desision that the 13th amendment is not broken by the draft. It has a Wikipedia page). Ooc: plus this is rutainia, not America. In order to call something "unconstitutional" it would have to violate the rutainian constitution. |
