Does it say 'these are the only requirements?' Or does it say 'these things are required?'
Necessary and sufficient are not interchangeable.
So you would be totally ok if congress passed a law that said basically only a specific person is eligible to be president? "All future presidents must be born on August 2, 1984, in Middletown, Ohio, and must be a member of the Republican party."
After all that wouldn't be unconstitutional to you would it?
Oh my god, shut the fuck up.
Just take the L. Maybe learn how the government works before trying to play "gotcha" with someone who paid attention in school.
No, fool, you're pulling examples clean out of your ass, on a different fucking subject.
The senate confirms federal officials.
How they do it is not specified, and according to over two hundred years of high-level bickering, that means they can do it however the fuck they want.
Even your ass-pull example ignores-- you've seen the NPVIC, right? There's a whole bunch of shit that YES, the American government CAN DO, regardless of whether it's intended, or desirable, or would lead to another civil war. We've already had the one, over some shit that was left ambiguous by this one precious document. So yeah, congress probably could specify your made-up thing, and the ink-on-paper constitution wouldn't be why it's total horseshit.
But you're such a psychic drain on this thread that I didn't want to have to spell out any of this. Hence: oh my god, just shut the fuck up.
