Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but there seems to be an unintended double negative that renders the following sentence nonsensical:
(Answer 8, part 7, sentence beginning on fourth line of Page 13).
“The 45th President of the United States believes and therefore avers that the defect in the drafting of the Article requires that Senators be instructed that if two thirds of them fail to find any portion of the Article lacking in evidence sufficient for conviction, then the entire Article fails and must be dismissed.”
Why would failure to find a lack of sufficient evidence for conviction be grounds for dismissal?
It makes sense only if you remove the word “lacking”, as follows:
“fail to find in any portion of the Article evidence sufficient to convict”
It does defy logic, but I’m not a lawyer.......................
