This can't be a valid change just because it's on some website. If I recall correctly from my HS civics course (they teach that anymore?) changes to the Constitution require a vote by all the states to validate such deletions or additions.

Just because they felt like removing those sections doesn't mean it's the new "law of the land". Doesn't it require voting to validate any changes or additions to the Constitution? You can't just delete or add articles on a whim by some whack jobs in the WH or Congress. What am I missing?

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion. They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich. Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.
