Subject: Easy law question
Citizenship is a term of municipal law.
See the citations in Gilbertson's
OPENING BRIEF. Congress cannot amend
the Constitution, and the term
"Citizen of the United States" in the
Qualifications Clauses means
"Citizen of ONE OF the States United".
See People v. De La Guerra for the
correct construction.
