While the following article will have little to do with the US, those members in Australia, Canada and New Zealand may find it interesting. Those three countries MAY not have legal governments and have not had legal governments since they gained their independence from Mother England. When they became independent there was no break in the government policies and procedures as required to make the change in Governments. When Hong Kong reverted to the Chinese, one minute before midnight the Crown Colony was under British law and one minute after midnight they were under Chinese law, the break needed to affect a change in governments. In Australia, Canada and New Zealand there was no such break, one minute before midnight they were under British law and one minute after minute they were still under British law but with a different name.

What that will mean to our TLFites living in the three countries is anybody's guess. But if the governments are not legal, the laws passed are not legal, the courts are not legal, nothing done by those countries since independence has been legal.
OOPS, had the wrong CONG after the HONG.
