"" Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) declared
the U.S. Constitution to be 400 years old
Wednesday on the House floor, which would
mean it was signed in 1614.
“Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the
distinguished members of the majority, the
Republicans, my chairman and others, for
giving us an opportunity to have a
deliberative constitutional discussion
that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and
how well it is that we have lasted some 400
years, operating under a constitution that
clearly defines what is constitutional and what
is not,
” she said.
That would be seven years after Jamestown,
Virginia became America’s first permanent
English settlement.
Lee is off by only 173 years. It was adopted on
Sep. 17, 1787.""

"" Lee obtained a B.A. in political
science from Yale University in 1972,
followed by a J.D. from the University of
Virginia Law School in 1975. ""

"" On a visit to the NASA Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in 2005, Rep. Lee made
embarrassing news by asking if the
Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of
the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil
Armstrong. ""
