FMA, but I would prefer this language:

This Constitution shall not be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.

Under the "Liberty Amendment" I'm not entirely sure we could have an Air Force.

The power of national defense is definitely specified in the Constitution. You take the original meaning of the text and apply it to today's world; this amendment doesn't change that. (Note that by apply, I mean apply, not make up).

It's in the same clause that says " general Welfare," so I don't understand how this amendment could not effect it.
