The word you are looking for, and not finding, is "supersede."

The Free Exercise clause, depending on who is building it and whether it is on public land.

No, but I will not stand idly by whilst the Queen's English is raped, murdered, folded, spindled and mutilated. I was a writing instructor, once upon a time.
