Watch the moment below:
“Tell me what Article 5 of the constitution does,” Senator Kennedy asked Judge Bjelkengren.
“Article 5 is not coming to mind at the moment,” Bjelkengren responded.
“Okay, how about Article 2?” fired back.
“Neither is Article 2,” Bjelkengren answered.
Article 5 of the constitution deals with amending the constitution while Article 2 outlines the role and powers of the executive branch of government.
