The constitution is very very clear.

The Constitution is very general. To be applicable to a new set of facts, it needs to be interpreted.

"The Constitution is very general."

But the oath of the president to uphold the Constitution is very specific . .

Oath Executive Oath of Office

do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 8

[hedgetrimmer]

It is still in plain enough language that the average citizen should be able to understand and relate it to the intentions of the founders.

Great problems occur when the Constitution is viewed outside of the original purpose, that is to protect the life, liberty and property of our citizens.

Allowing massive illegal immigration then granting amnesty does not support the intention of the constitution and deprives citizens of their freedom and money.
