A Final Exam for Professor Obama
Dear Professor Obama:
From 1996 to 2004, you were a Senior Lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School where you taught Constitutional Law III. According to the university’s catalog, students learn ". . . the history, theory, and contemporary law of the post-Civil War Amendments to the Constitution, particularly the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment."

What more could we as Americans ask of you? Well, there is one more request. We would like for you to stand behind your teacher’s podium again, and speak to the American public as you would to your classroom. Consider this a teachable moment. We would appreciate hearing answers to some timely and important constitutional questions, and you are uniquely qualified to provide the answers.
Following your lead, I will use a format similar to the final exams that you gave to your students when you were teaching. Below is a fictional scenario, and then a series of questions for you to answer. We hope you can tell us how this constitutional issue should be resolved.
