@Teri_Kanefield Before even reading your explainer, I can tell you will do all the research necessary to give us a detailed report. As for me, I have always believed the Framers and later on the Writers of Amendments to the Constitution made it sufficiently vague to leave leeway to interpretation. That’s no surprise as the Framers meant for the Constitution to be a ‘living document.’ The verbiage in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment are a prime example of ‘sufficiently vague’.
