Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Just Vanished from Congress' Website
Source: 404 Media
Congress’ website for the U.S. Constitution was changed to delete the last two sections of Article I, which include provisions such as habeas corpus, forbidding the naming of titles of nobility, and forbidding foreign emoluments for U.S. officials.
The last full version of the webpage, archived by the Internet Archive on July 17, still included the now-deleted sections. Parts of Section 8 of Article I, as well as all of Sections 9 and 10 of Article I are now gone from the live site. The deletions, as of August 6, are also archived here. The change was spotted by users on Lemmy, an open-source aggregation platform and forum.
This webpage, maintained by the U.S. government, hasn’t changed significantly in the entire time it’s been saved by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine—since 2019. The page for the Constitution on the National Archives website remains unchanged, and shows the entire document.

As people in the Lemmy forum conversation note, this could be a glitch, or some kind of error with the site. But considering the page doesn’t include many dynamic elements, and is mainly a text reprinting of the Constitution, a nearly 240-year-old document that hasn’t changed since the addition of the 27th Amendment in 1992—and that the page itself has barely changed at all in the six years it’s been archived—it’s a noteworthy and sudden move.
