"Constitution Day commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution by thirty-nine brave men on September 17, 1787..."



Trivia:



How many years can a president serve in office?



How many Amendments in the Bill of Rights?


Ten, though it's not in the original Constitution signed in '87.

Ten (though I've had others claim others are included in the BoR).

3,652 Days maximum. 730 Days maximum of an elected President's term 2,922 Days (8 years) of two terms he would be elected to

3,652 Total

10 Amendments. The Bill of Rights is the name the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are known.

Crap. I thought you asked "days" instead of "years."

1)If he's Obama, about 25. 2) Who cares? No one minds the GD piece of paper anyway.

Such a great answer you gave, and then you lost the ball on the 1-yard line. Isn't that the way it happens.

As originally proposed, it had twelve, but two of them were not ratified.

One of those two was eventually ratified as Amendment 27 -- two centuries after it was proposed.
