16th amendment. IF any Constitutional allowance is required would be questionable anyway. There is certainly no disallowance. Then of course, there is a littany of other legal rulings, court cases, laws voted and approved by Congress and signed by the President...all confirming and making the process. And of course, any argument about those would be foolish....and even if accurate to any small degree..how long do you think it would take to technically correct it, retrospectively (which is and always has been entirely allowed)? Days?
