That’s damn good reading there! Cuts right to the chase.

I LOVE how the attorney argues:

Also, the 14th Amendment establishes a path to “citizenship.” If individuals that qualify as “citizens” under the 14th Amendment are construed to qualify to run for President, then the term “natural born Citizen” establishing a distinct qualification for holding the office of President under Article II would lose its distinction from the term “citizen” as required to hold the offices of Senator and Member of the House of Representatives under Article I. This would leave the distinction between the qualifications for President and members of Congress without effect. “Such a construction is inadmissible.” Marbury, 5 U.S. at 174.

Notice the citation of Marbury v Madison? Brilliant!!!! :)
