Constitutional Connections: Amendment l "Freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly, and petition."
Explaination of Connection:
Even thought President, Barack Obama, claimed several times he is a Christian, many people still think that he is a Muslim. One of those people is Republican Kim Lehman of Iowa. She thinks that he is a Muslim from his address to the Muslim world in Cairo. She said, "Just had the appearance that he was aligning himself with the Muslims."
This article clearly demonstrates freedom of speech in Amendment l of the Bill of rights of the United States Constitution. The President of the United States can be any religion he wants to be, no matter what others have to say about it. It's not like he could be impeached for being a religion that the people don't accept.
People like Kim Lehman are only making a big deal of this because of the proposed building of the mosque two blocks away from the Twin Towers. No matter what religion he was, or if he were Atheist, he would be practicting Amendment l, the freedom of religion. I dont see why people care beause allowing the mosque to be built two blocks away from the Twin Towers would be right according to Amendment l, but to some people, it may be morally wrong.
Brief, but well proven. Good job!!
