“ On or about August 6, 2025, part of Section 8 and all of sections 9 and 10 were deleted from the Library of Congress's Constitution Annotated website on congress.gov.[2] Later that day, in response to inquiries, the Library of Congress stated that this was "due to a coding error" and that they were "working to correct this".[3][2]”
