Can the U.S. Constitution Enforce SUNDAY? - Herman L Hoeh - March 1961

Herman L Hoeh

What does the new political trend in America mean? Will separation of Church and State continue? Here is what could happen if God would not intervene! AN OLD controversy has suddenly taken on new meaning with the presidential election of 1960. Here, quoted from the Catholic magazine AMERICA, Feb. 11, 1961, is the controversy in a nutshell: "Controversy over Sunday-closing could be minimized if, in law, religious significance were removed from the weekly rest day. Rather than being called Sunday, the day should be referred to as... 'the President's day.' Article 1, Section 7, of our Constitution certainly orders the Government and the President to rest on Sunday" - and then the writer quotes from the U.S. Constitution as follows: "'....If any bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sunday excepted) after it shall have been presented to him....'" Did you catch the vital significance of this statement? The Government and the President, argues the writer, are ordered to rest on Sunday! It is suggested that it be called "the President's day"! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
