About this listen
Do you know what the Constitution actually says?
This witty and highly relevant annotation of our founding document is the go-to guide to the ins and outs of how our government really works.
Written by political savant and entertainment veteran Ben Sheehan and vetted for accuracy by dozens of experts in the field of constitutional law, OMG WTF Does the Constitution Say? is an entertaining and accessible guide that explains what the Constitution lays out.
Discussing everything from the meaning of the Second Amendment to the stated rules around Supreme Court nominations, Sheehan walks us through the entire Constitution, from its preamble to its final amendment. He also offers a bonus section on the Declaration of Independence. Extra-credit information throughout on things like amendments that were never passed and what powers elected officials actually have gives listeners all the information they need to be informed and effective voters and citizens.
"Every election, millions of people do not vote simply because they don't understand how the government works. If every American had this book they would laugh, learn, and go to the polls." (Kat Calvin, founder and executive director of Spread the Vote)

Critic reviews
"Finally someone has created an easy way to teach something that's so crucial to us as citizens and as a country. Read this if you want to be smart, no pressure." (Derek Waters, creator of Drunk History)
"I wish this book existed 50 years ago when I moved to the United States. Ben's Constitutional breakdown is a must-read for every current and aspiring citizen." (Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California)
"Ben grew up in D.C. and had a parent who worked in the US Senate, which gave him the privilege of learning how the government works from a young age. Ben shares that privilege in OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? This clear, understandable translation of the Constitution immensely helps up understand WTF actually goes on in our government." (Ilana Glazer, activist, actress, and co-creator of Broad City)

A good summary of the US Constitution
Admittedly I knew a fair amount of what was in here, but this is a good summary of the US Constitution along with some thoughts on what it means.
A nude short book on the subject.
