Key sections of the US Constitution deleted from government’s website

In a surprising turn of events, several sections of Article 1 of the United States Constitution have seemingly vanished from the official U.S. government website. Online investigators and users on platforms like Reddit have highlighted these changes, which were noted to have occurred within the last month. The Wayback Machine, an internet archiving service, shows that the complete original text was available on Congress' website as recently as July 17. The alterations primarily affect Article 1, with significant portions of Section 8 being omitted, while Sections 9 and 10 have been entirely deleted. An archived version of the website reveals the discrepancies clearly, as shown in a side-by-side comparison where the removed text is highlighted. These sections address the powers granted to Congress and the restrictions on state authority, including critical elements related to habeas corpus, which safeguards citizens against unlawful detention. The abrupt disappearance of these constitutional sections raises questions about the motivations behind the changes. While the modification of website content does not alter the actual U.S. law, it echoes earlier comments made by former Trump administration official Stephen Miller, who suggested suspending habeas corpus. As of now, a request for comment from the White House has gone unanswered, leaving many to speculate about the implications of this incident.
