sine die 1861 = United States ended

De Jure Government 
Adjournment of Congress sine die a Latin term meaning “without [fixed] day”;  No day is set for reconvening

Seven southern nation States of America walked out of the Second Session of the Thirty-sixth Congress on March 27, 1861.

In so doing, the Constitutional due process quorum necessary for Congress to vote was (temporarily) lost and Congress was adjourned sine die, or “without day.” To some, this meant that there was no lawful quorum to set a specific day and time to reconvene. Some say that according to Robert’s Rules of Order, Congress automatically dissolved because there are no provisions within the Constitution allowing the passage of any Congressional vote without a quorum of the States. Keep in mind that Robert’s Rules of Order was created and published by Henry Martyn Robert who was born in South Carolina in 1837. He sold a half million copies of his rules by 1914. Those rules were not made a part of the Constitution or any Amendment to the Constitution. According to The Constitution, Congress was only required to meet at least once in every year on a specific date unless changed by law and a smaller number may adjourn from day to day. Therefore, because there were no other provisions, dissolution does not take place unless “the people”, the creators thereof, or the posterity thereof, the sovereigns of the states, say so.

Because the King’s men did not attend a meeting required by Him does not constitute a loss of the King’s kingdom or His government. It just means that such men may loose their heads for not obeying the King.
The King in this case is the people
or “We, the people”

“…to prevent abuses in our government, we will assemble in Convention, recall our delegated powers, and punish our servants for abusing the trust reposed to them.”
–paraphrased by Patrick Henry, June 1788

Defacto Government

On April 15, 1861,
President Lincoln reconvened Congress under the Executive branch by proclamation (number 1):
“I do hereby, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution, convene both Houses of Congress.”

Ceasar (President) is now in full control even over the Senate (Congress).

A Presidential dictatorship has been imposed on U.S. citizens. The sad thing is, “Most American people do not realize it yet.”

The corporate government created in 1871 will continue to exist as long as: “state of war” or “emergency” exists (War on Drugs, War on Poverty, War on Terrorism, War on Iraq, etc.),

the President does not terminate “martial” or “emergency” powers by Executive Order or decree, or

the people do not resist submission and terminate by restoring lawful civil courts, processes and procedures under authority of the “inherent political powers” of the people.  

The Fourteenth Amendment for all intents and purposes does not exist. On March 28, 1861 Congress adjourned sine die and never has reconvened de jure.

The original Thirteenth Amendment (no title of nobility), approved by 13 of the 17 states March 12, 1819 and thereby ratified, is the last proper draft of a de jure Amendment but is not recognized by the corporate (de facto) UNITED STATES.
The original 13th Amendment prohibits “Esquires” (Attorneys) from holding positions of public office.

coup d’etat (n.)

1640s, from French coup d’étate, literally “stroke of the state” (see coup). Technically any sudden, decisive political act, especially an important and unexpected change in the form and methods of a government, but in 20c. popularly restricted to the overthrow of a government.

schism (n.)

late 14c., scisme, “dissension within the church,” from Old French scisme, cisme “a cleft, split” (12c.), from Church Latin schisma, from Greek skhisma (genitive skhismatos) “division, cleft,” in New Testament applied metaphorically to divisions in the Church (I Corinthians xii.25), from stem of skhizein “to split” (from PIE root *skei- “to cut, split”). Spelling restored 16c., but pronunciation unchanged. Often in reference to the Great Schism (1378-1417) in the Western Church.

De Jure

Latin for “by law,” a legal term referring to acts, practices, or conditions that are put in place by the law. This contrasts with things that are “de facto,” or present because of the decisions of private individuals, and not because of official laws or government action. Rothstein’s thesis in The Color of Law is that the United States’ system of residential segregation is de jure, not de facto. In every American city, certain neighborhoods are all (or nearly all) African American and others are all (or nearly all) white, not because of “individual choices,” but becuase of “racially explicit policies of federal, state, and local governments.”

Writ

The development of English Common Law relied on the courts to issue writs that allowed persons to proceed with a legal action. Over time the courts also used writs to direct other courts, sheriffs, and attorneys to perform certain actions. In modern law, courts primarily use writs to grant extraordinary relief, to grant the right of appeal, or to grant the sheriff authority to seize property. Most other common-law writs were discarded in U.S. law, as the courts moved to simpler and more general methods of starting civil actions.

U.S. courts commonly use several extraordinary writs, which are issued only when the courts believe that usual remedies have failed. The writ of Habeas Corpus, sometimes called the “great writ,” is probably the best-known example of a writ. A writ of habeas corpus is a legal document ordering anyone who is officially holding the petitioner (the person requesting the writ) to bring him into court to determine whether the detention is unlawful. A federal court can hear an application for a writ of habeas corpus by a state prisoner who is being held in custody, allegedly in violation of the U.S. Constitution or the laws of the United States.
