Author carol swayne, what was the 1776 commission and why did you become the Vice Chair . Why did i become the Vice Chair . Yes, maam. Because i accepted and i was asked in december of 2020 and by then the election was over and i was told by a number of people not to take that position. I took it because i believed in the purpose of the commission. I think its very important for young people to know about Americas History. Its true history and so i made the decision to serve and i and im proud of the work that we did in a short period of time, but, you know, for someone looking at the objective circumstances, it didnt make a lot of sense to them to take it because we knew that most likely our commission would be abolished.

It was to for one thing the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence will be in 2025 and so we were to come up with a plan or a method to study the constitution and to encourage, you know, schools to sort of reembrace Americas History and it was to be a bipartisan commission. I think it was, not all conservatives, but it was put together after the 2020 election and so the people that chose to serve are the people that really cared about the purpose and the mission and thats why i served and it was the only appointment i received in the Trump Administration and it was something that i believe in. I dont do things i dont believe in and i also can tell you that ive had 3 political appoin
