And as conservatives, don't we always look to Original Intent?

It was corrected in 1795 so yes we do. I realize that facts mean nothing and I am aware that various court decisions have left the meaning unclear, nut if you had asked any 5th grader 50 years ago what an NBC was they would have had no trouble explaining it to you.

Badly written Precedent setting decisions can not change the Constitution and NBC is a special class only applying to the Office of President. What we have now are some conflicting decisions and neither the Congress or the Courts have addressed it and that gives us what we have. Plenty of good conservatives are willing to drop all pretense of Constitutional Conservatism in order to promote their choice, all because if Obama could do it, so can we.

Oh sthu with the constitutional crap. Trumpswabs support a guy that used the state as a hammer to try and steal some old ladies property for private use and gain. Now where the hell is that in the Constitution? The Trump Self Serving Clause?
