2. This Constitution glitch is hysterically blown out of proportions

Yes, this IS a stupid "coding error". End of story!

Though absolutely worthy of ridiculing the Trump administration for, it is simply pathetic seriously calling this minor error an attempt to change the Constitution. The sloppy coding base is much older than the Trump administrations, and is the real culprit.

According to Google, there have only been a few discussions of the actual coding, none of them really going into the substance. And then there is ONE page actually making sense of this:

Root Cause Analysis: Code Deployment and CMS Misconfiguration
... Preliminary findings suggest a faulty merge in the GitLab-based CI/CD workflow. ...
- A schema change in the PostgreSQL database omitted columns corresponding to certain article sections.
- The GraphQL API layer failed to validate null responses, causing front-end React components to skip rendering the missing keys.
- Lack of automated integration tests for content completeness allowed the error to reach production. ...

Software engineer Dr. Emily Zhang (MIT Internet Policy Research Initiative) observed: “This is a classic case of code-centric deployment without sufficient content validation. Critical legal texts demand stricter schema and regression testing.”
