It’s getting up in years -- almost 250 now -- but it’s seeing new life as a top seller! Oh, and a  little controversy doesn’t hurt either.

Check Amazon’s list and you’ll find that the U.S. Constitution has risen to the No. 2 spot on Amazon.com's list of best-selling books.

The boost in sales of the $1 pocket-sized copy comes on the heels of the political controversy born of the father of a fallen Muslim U.S. Army captain holding up his copy at the Democratic National Convention last week as he demanded to know if Donald Trump had ever read it.

Google also reports that searches for the Constitution have increased tenfold over the daily average from a month earlier in the wake of Khizr Khan's remarks.
