That was the second National Treasure movie with Nicholas CAGE.
I grabbed the clip because I had long noticed that the Thirteenth Amendment (the slavery one) speaks of the United States in the plural while the Fourteenth Amendment speaks of the United States in a non-specific manner as to singular or plural.
Talk about self assurance:
A problem arose because seven states had seceded from the Union by February 1861 and four more left in April of that year.
However, the patriotic Treasury viewed the situation as temporary and proceeded to include 34 spikes on its seal.
The note shown below was issued in 1862.

And the power and dignity of the home governments will be restored.
This measure should be supported by the governors and legislators of all the states. Every state in the Union now contributes in income taxes to the federal government more than it gets back in grants-in-aid; this is inevitable, because the cost of maintaining the huge federal machinery must come out of the taxes before the citizen can get anything.
With the abolition of income taxation the states will be better able to serve its citizens, and because the state governments are closer and more responsive to the will of the people, there is greater chance that the citizens will get their full dollar’s worth in services.
