A comma has been added after the word "States."
wouldn’t a strict interpretation say that the founders were dealing with the situation of citizenship at the time that the constitution was adopted? In other words they were not thinking about 200 years later
Damn, you're good!
kinda funny the attempt there to alter our constitution.
funny because it doesn’t help their cause — instead, by placement of the comma there, it requires all US presidents to have been alive at the time of the adoption of the Constitution.
Squirreled away in my closet are some (supposedly) high-quality photocopies of several documents including the Constitution. That comma is in the original too. It hasn’t been added as far as I can tell. If I knew how to do it, I’d scan that section and post it here but I have to plead techno-ignorance as my defense.
a comma creates a whole different meaning, doesn’t it?
