#2  The technical problem is that the so call draft is simply the selective activation of the federal militia [males 17-45] which is defined and empowered by Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution and enacted under Title 10 USC subsection para. 311. There is no Constitutional provision for any other work/duty/labor imposed upon the citizenry that can avoid the 13th Amendment. Of course when he gets the courts to ignore the 13th like they ignore the 14th [equal before the law regardless of color, race, etc], he can also throw in an override of the 22nd Amendment so he can join Hugo as President for Life(c).
