About the Book

Do you know what the Constitution ACTUALLY says?

Written by political savant and entertainment veteran, Ben Sheehan, and vetted for accuracy by experts in the field of constitutional law, What Does the Constitution Actually Say? is an entertaining and accessible guide that explains what the Constitution actually lays out.

With clear notes and graphics on everything from presidential powers to Supreme Court nominations to hidden loopholes, Sheehan walks us through the entire Constitution from its preamble to its final amendment (with a bonus section on the Declaration of Independence). Besides putting the Constitution in modern-day English so that it can be understood, What Does the Constitution Actually Say? gives readers all of the info they need to be effective voters and citizens in the November elections and beyond.

About the Author :
Ben Sheehan is a former award-winning executive producer at Funny Or Die. He founded OMG WTF (Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, Florida) to teach voters about state executive races during the 2018 midterms. The Hollywood Reporter listed him as one of entertainment's 35 Rising Executives Under 35 and OMG WTF's Gerrymander Jewelry was a finalist for Fast Company's World Changing Ideas 2019. In 2016, he helped register 50,000 voters through digital videos as the executive director of Save the Day. The projects he's been involved with have received over a billion views.

Review :

"Finally someone has created an easy way to teach something that's so crucial to us as citizens and as a country. Read this if you want to be smart, no pressure."

--Derek Waters, creator of Drunk History

"I wish this book existed 50 years ago when I moved to the United States. Ben's constitutional breakdown is a must-read for every current and aspiring citizen."

--Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California

"In a meeting a few years ago, Ben Sheehan made the topic of gerrymandering genuinely funny to me. Ever since, he's been someone I think of when I look for examples on how to make civics more accessible. Give this book a read!"

--Kal Penn, actor and former associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement "Ben grew up in D.C. and had a parent who worked in the U.S. Senate, which gave him the privilege of learning how the government works from a young age. Ben shares that privilege in OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? This clear, understandable translation of the Constitution immensely helps us understand WTF actually goes on in our government."--Ilana Glazer, activist, actress and co-creator of Broad City "Ben Sheehan has given us a rare gift: A fun book about a serious subject. In this lively, illuminating, and memorable journey into our Constitution, he enables students (of really any age) to experience the complexities, contradictions, and genius of a document that shapes all our lives. At a time when democracy is under siege, Sheehan has written an important corrective. He does not preach, nor does he lecture--but he certainly teaches, and that is a great service to the nation."
--Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer This is a honey of a book, wonderfully suited for anyone who wants to speak authoritatively but simply about the Constitution. It is confidently recommended for high-school-, public-, and college-library collections.
--Booklist "Ben provides a totally fresh departure for thinking about the Constitution for lots of people who don't make a livelihood out of it, but need to understand it. A wonderful, breakthrough book."--Jamie Raskin, U.S. representative and former professor of constitutional law at American University's Washington College of Law
