However, it's a little known fact that this amendment, and several laws,
are in fact illegal in that they were not properly signed.  Taft (I believe
it was he) signed these acts, but HE WAS NOT LEGALLY PRESIDENT.  He was
born in the "state" of Ohio.  Unfortunately, when Congress voted to
accept Ohio into the union, something got fouled up and the act was never
properly completed.  By next Congress, though, people had forgotten this
error, and treated Ohio as a state and not a territory.  It wasn't until
sometime this century that the error was discovered and quietly corrected.
So, since he was born in a territory and not a state, Taft, and several
others, could not legally be president.  So don't pay your taxes, since the
amendment is illegal.
