"No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen."
In fact, Article 2, Sections 2 & 3 both refer to Representatives, Senators and even the President with the masculine pronoun. The 19th Amendment affords women the right to vote, not hold those offices.
So your argument of "if you cant find any such clause in the Constitution, well then it doesn't exist", is specious and laughable. Tell that to the Congressmen AND CongressWOMEN who have tried, AND FAILED, to modify or remove the "Natural Born Citizen" clause a total of 26 times since the 1870s.
If Websters can be used to define the gender-neutral pronoun of "he", Vattel can most certainly and accurately be used to define "Natural Born Citizen".
So, as much as it pains me to admit it, Barbara Boxer is permitted to hold office as a Senator. The same cannot be said for Obama as president...

LOL! Barb Boxer - what a swine.
Wow this is something I have not seen - tried to get NBC removed 26 times since the 1870s?
Hmm...I guess someone since the 1870s must have thought it was pretty important. Great find.
Show us you BC there Barry Dunham, Barry Obama, Barry Soetero, Barrack Hussein Obama II, Usurper.

So your argument of "if you cant find any such clause in the Constitution, well then it doesn't exist", is specious and laughable. You were the one who posted that "It is written in the Constitution" that the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction of a suit against the President. Do you now concede that that is not written in the Constitution?
