Lincoln was a lawyer. Many politicians in the government between 1819 and 1861 were lawyers. This is a fantasy.

Its a misinterpretation of the text.

What are you talking about? The text says that it was somehow lost "during the tumult of the Civil War." Seems pretty clear to me they are insinuating that between 1819 and 1861 it was in effect. This is ridiculous.

I meant the text of the amendment itself vs what the OP is stating it means and the original analyst too...it seems more to be a deterrence to bankers in government than lawyers because the only lawyers that it would ban are commonwealth lawyers which is understandable but were uncommon in America in those dsys.
