The American Legion utilizes a Constitution & By-Laws to establish not only the purpose of the organization, but also how it will be governed to include eligibility, conventions, officers, committees, organization, finance, and other topics.  The National level of the American Legion provides the baseline and posts, districts and division levels tailor this to their local requirements.  It is written and voted on by the members.  It is updated as the need arises.  

                                  The Post 157 Constitution & By-Laws are provided below.
