This is not the US constitution; it used to be, but Article I, part of section 8, & all of sections 9 & 10 have been removed (constitution.congress.gov)

Compare with the original, from a few weeks back

Half of section 8, governing Congressional power over the military is removed.

Section 9 had, among other things:

  • Habeas Corpus the right to get a court hearing instead of arbitrary imprisonment
  • a ban on foreign emoluments for the US officials (eg: payments from foreign governments)

Section 10 reserved foreign policy for the federal government instead of the states.

Playing the devil's advocate and given that all the text that was removed is contiguous, could it be accidental?

Although all the text that was removed refers to topics that were problematic to Trump's administration.

I could see that if this were text that regularly needed editing, but last I checked it’s been DECADES since that was necessary.
