In a copy of the handwritten copy of the Constitution that I have, the "L" and "N" of "the Law of Nations" in Article I, Section 8 is most definitely capitalized.

Hmmm..... Looks like Applewood Books of Bedford, MA is guilty of a rather glaring oversight. They didn't capitalize those two words in my pocket edition of the US Constitution (ISBN 1-55709-105-6).

Hmmm..... Looks like Applewood Books of Bedford, MA is guilty of a rather glaring oversight. They didn't capitalize those two words in my pocket edition of the US Constitution (ISBN 1-55709-105-6).

My excellent copy of the Constitution that I downloaded from Congress's website (not there anymore) also has the "Law of Nations" in capital letters.

The left has been doing a subtle campaign to change the meaning and intent of the Constitution for who knows how long.

In my hands I have a copy of "America's Constitution ; A Biography" written by Akhil Reed Amar who is a member of the Yale Law School faculty. He has "written widely" on constitutional issues for the New York and LA Times and the Washington Post.

Amar wrote on page 164, "Early America's evident concerns about presidential dynasties also lurked beneath Article II's most questionable eligibility rule: its requirement that a president be a "natural born Citizen" -- that is, a citizen at the time of his birth.91 By gererally prohibiting immigrant-turned-citizen from the presidency...."

The footnote Amar cites is Jill A. Pryor's publishing "The Natural-Born Citizen Clause and Presidential Eligibility: An Approach for Resolving Two Hundred Years of Uncertainty" Yale Law Journal 97 (1988):881.

Pryor is a tool and probable loon for the left. They are an insidious crowd. See below:

Brady), U.S. House of Representatives, 110th Congress, 1st Session, July 25, 2007 the “N” and the “L” are capitalized.
