I have actually done it, I have read the entire U.S. Constitution, well, not the amendments yet. I have noticed many, interesting, surprising, astounding, and just plain scary things in it. I have written down all these notes. Over the next few weeks I plan to publish the notes. As a taste, here are some. They will come in order of what part of the Constitution they are in.
The state governments hold the power to choose the qualifications for a voter when voting for someone to be in Congress. It is possible that you don't have to be a citizen!
I believe that today, it is the majority party that chooses the Speaker of the House, there is no mention of any political parties, at all in the original Constitution. It says, "The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other officers;" now does this refer to the whole House or just a part of it?

Are you thinking 'the whole House'
means the Senate also?
The Senate and the House of Reps
are known as Congress, FYI.
Senate and House of Reps are two
different entities.
When I say the whole House I mean the whole House of Representatives.
Well done Scriptor! It never ceases to amaze me the way people who have never even read the Constitution babble about what it "means". Keep reading. You'll want to get through the amendments while the original document is still fairly fresh in your memory.
