No, because my sources are out of books. Many printed copies of the Constitution that I have seen do not have this part included.
I never said it was struck from the Constitution! I simply stated that I have seen copies of the Constitution where that line was deleted from the text - I guess they assume there are not many 218 year olds running for President.
Ok, so do you have a book name or three you could post here?
And I have never to this day seen one (**official ** copy, that is) that is so abridged. So we’re even on that one. But the OP is about the official method of amendment, which in the case of the US Constitution is to add new text that supercedes the previous, without deleting the previous. It’s not about the editorial style that a publisher may adopt to flag or remove from his edition those parts that are no longer in effect (which would render it an unofficial copy)
JRDelirious: Well, to end this hijack, we can agree that the politics and morality of slavery in antebellum America is a complex topic and has probably filled thick books.
Wouldn’t the grandfather clause also apply in the case of a new state being admitted to the Union?
If you are a resident/citizen of the entity that has been granted admission, you would be considered a “Natural born citizen.” e.g. residents/citizens of Hawaii & Alaska when they joined the Union.
