Virginia
Recently, we finished our mock presidency in class and my fictional character was left in a state where our class's president, vice president, and chief of staff disliked me, probably because I ruined the president's re election race. Anyhow, those 3 are now bent on trying to convict my fictional character and even send him to death. So, as apart of our next unit our teacher was doing something special and writing a unique case for our class against my fictional character. So far, I've labeled the reasons for how you can be sentenced to death and how none of that fits my character but then I moved on to things my character has actually done and I'm a little stuck. So far, my character tried to pass an amendment in congress which would give police officers unlimited power over the internet to try and convict sex traffickers, although it had a 100% approval rating in the house, it died in the senate. To much of everyone's surprise, I had included a sub section which stated that I would take on the title and label of the constitution meaning that I was the supreme law of the land. So that is one thing that they will try and bring up in the court case. Another thing they might try and bring up is my alleged habit to leak information to the media. Although I had already talked about this when I brought up espionage, I'm worried that they might try and bring something else up.
This whole thing is to defend my fictional character and so I can understand if this doesn't get attention or any responses at all, I'm just trying to make the most legal and knowledgeable case I can to help save my character.
Some additional information;
I understand that only the official decree of the amendment would be put in the constitution meaning that any other words or any other sections are technically void upon writing them if not labeled as an official part of the amendment. This mean that the line which had my character try and take the label of the constitution was little more than an empty sentence and had no real meaning behind it. I tried to establish something which I could defend against for this but I couldn't really find an answer. I figured it has to do with first amendment rights and how you can't say threats against the president or say there's a fire in a movie theater but I'm having trouble tying it back to my situation and how to defend against it.
Any information provided would help a ton and apologies if this is inappropriate to post here and ask for assistance.
