| | Hawaiian Kingdom Writ of Mandamus |
| | Because the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, and an envoy commissioned by them reported in official documents that my government was unlawfully coerced by the forces, diplomatic and naval of the United States; that I was at the date of their investigation the constitutional ruler of my people... | | | Consequently the United States of America was estopped from entering the territorial jurisdiction of the Hawaiian Kingdom, a sovereign nation, without standing in contravention of its own organic laws and of international law. | | | On November 23, 1993, the United States enacted Public Law 103-150, 103d Congress, to acknowledge the 100th anniversary of the January 17, 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and affirmed the aforementioned facts stated in this petition. |

| | Although the debate over the Twenty-fifth Amendment in the 1960s had inspired a number of books on the history and operations of the vice-presidency, most of those works were narrowly drawn, serving only to make a case for or against the amendment. | | | While vice presidents have used their votes chiefly on legislative issues, they have also broken ties on the election of Senate officers, as well as on the appointment of committees in 1881 when the parties were evenly represented in the Senate. | | | Although the office of vice president did not exist under the Continental Congresses or the Articles of Confederation, the concept of a concurrently elected successor to the executive was not without precedent for the framers of the Constitution in 1787. |

| | The President of the United States of America does not have the power to enforce State Laws and Local laws because of Amendment Ten of the United States Constitution. | | | One of the executive powers that the President of the United States of America has is the power of enforcement of the country's federal laws. | | | Therefore, the Preamble itself cannot confer powers upon the Federal government at the expense of the States (since the States as institutions in and of themselves were not parties to the statement of purpose that is the Preamble) absent some specific expression of a power so conferred in the body of the document itself. |
