> (NBC is) Not by any law or clause of the Constitution or legal decision I'm aware of.

Non-Seq... Back to your old tricks again...

Since you're being such a strict Constructionist, I suppose you want the 17 female Senators to step down...

Article 2, Section 3, Clause 3 of the US Constitution:

“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.”

That's right -- HE

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 coy little argument of “'Not by any law or clause of the Constitution or legal decision I'm aware of,' so therefore NBC 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. THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW SOMETHING YOU DO NOT.

If Websters can be used to define the gender-neutral pronoun of “he”, Vattel's Law of Nations 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 the Defendant-in-Chief as president...

If Websters can be used to define the gender-neutral pronoun of “he”, Vattel's Law of Nations can most certainly and accurately be used to define “Natural Born Citizen”.

Vattel can define whatever he wants. The underlying foundation for our rule of law is the Constitution and not a 17th century Dutch lawyer. We are governed by it and by the laws created under it. And none of them happen to agree with Vattel's definition. Or your's.

“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. THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW SOMETHING YOU DO NOT.”

26 times- well that’s new to me, not that I’ve been zoned in properly. That’s remarkable, BP2. Have you listed these or have a link? Certainly bolsters the point.

Touche!

Oh we are the family of man, finally, eh?! The spelling hasn’t been changed to womyn. We don’t have as words womanagers, personholes, womaniplators etc. Its only the ‘important’ things like chairperson we seem to have this inclusive dreck.
