Lawmaker Says Constitution is 400 Years Old

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) said the U.S. Constitution is 400 years old, TPM reports.

Said Lee: “Frankly, 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.”
