Sections of the U.S. Constitution, specifically parts of Section 8 and all of Sections 9 and 10 in Article 1, were inadvertently removed from the Library of Congress website. The removal caused public concern, particularly amid discussions around habeas corpus. The Library clarified that the removal stemmed from a coding error that led to a missing XML tag during updates on constitutional analysis. The issue has since been corrected, and the complete text of the Constitution has been restored on the website.
"The online Constitution Annotated is an educational tool which includes discussions of the Supreme Court's latest opinions linked to the text of the Constitution. When updating the site to reflect our constitutional scholars' analysis of the impact of the latest cases on Article I, Sections 8-10, the team inadvertently removed an XML tag."
"This prevented publication of everything in Article I after the middle of Section 8. The problem has been corrected, and our updated constitutional analysis is now available."
