2. Only if she volunteers

3. Sorry, she's on "snowflake baby" duty.

Now that she's "open for business," her primary role will to carry as many as possible to term.

4. There is no "active" draft...

Just 'the back door draft'.

I don't have a problem with her...but her evil father is another story. :grr:

Let's send him instead!

Welcome to DU, wizstars! :hi:

5. Even if there were a draft...

...At 26, she's a bit old to be one of the first taken.

7. Hillary supported the war

what about Chelsea?

9. hell, Obama supported the war

at least when it came time to vote about it. how long till his kids are 18?

8. yes, under Texas law

it proves she is, in fact, female, and therefore not subject to the draft, should there be one.

10. Women Aren't Required to Register anywhere, in any state.

ATTENTION, UNDOCUMENTED MALES & IMMIGRANT SERVICING GROUPS!

If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S.,
then you must register with Selective Service. It’s the law.

WOMEN AND THE DRAFT

http://www.sss.gov/FSwomen.htm

Women Aren't Required to Register

Here's why:

THE LAW
Selective Service law as it's written now refers specifically to "male persons" in stating who must register and who would be drafted. For women to be required to register with Selective Service, Congress would have to amend the law.

THE SUPREME COURT
The constitutionality of excluding women was tested in the courts. A Supreme Court decision in 1981, Rostker v. Goldberg, held that registering only men did not violate the due process clause of the Constitution.

12. obviously

since this was a ridiculous OP in the first place, I was just pointing out that Jenna is obviously female since she was able to marry a man in Texas, and therefore was not eligible. that's all.

[Breeze54]

13. Oops! Sorry...

I thought, you thought, just TX had it... :P

I must have misunderstood.

:hi:

11. no effect

she's still a rich member of the aristocracy and will NEVER be drafted.
