House Reads Constitution

I hope this turns out to be far more than a "political stunt." I think it may be good for some people to hear the text of the Constitution. I remember reading some time ago that many lawyers and others had never even read it.

I'll admit that as a history and political studies major I read more historical documents than most--but I think the Constitution should be required reading for all students before they leave high school so they can understand more about where our government comes from. There is little chance most people can understand things like the tax code or food regulations...but the Constitution, the "supreme law of the land" isn't hard to understand.
