Mr. Jacobs, why did you quarter soldiers? The Third Amendment gives you the right NOT to quarter them. You certainly have the right to quarter them, but that's no more part of living "constitutionally" than harvesting hay with a scythe.

Congress has the power to grant letters of marque and reprisal, but has no obligation to do so. They may decide that there is no need now that we have a more extensive navy (and I don't know if any treaties that we've signed would have contrary provisions). There's also the question of whether we have "enemies" when we're not actually at war, though I'd love to see Jacobs take on the Houthis and their sea surface drones. Probably not much money in capturing those, though.
"Quartering Soldiers" has actually come up in modern times. Congress, about 15 years ago, wanted to mandate that airlines not charge active-duty soldiers for extra baggage (with no compensation from the Government).
Actually, quartering soldiers was very popular with the typical Colonial American citizen. The British paid rent, thus it was an additional source of revenue for many families.

Common sense. Thank you.
Quartering soldiers! I learned in school that was unconstitutional!

I was wondering why he quartered military personnel as well.
