See, now that makes me wonder why grandparents get special cashew consideration.
Especially seeing as how I'm not a grandparent.
The point still is, a Constitution has no need whatsoever to explain itself; it simply declares. And yet one time --- and one time only ---- it seems to do just that. I wanna know what they were thinking. And until we know by gum I'm gonna chow down on cashews.
It doesn't matter why the grandparents were mentioned ... That doesn't disqualify anyone else (including you).
The Constitution isn't trying to explain itself ... You are the one that wants some kind of explanation ... Possibly in hopes it means something it doesn't.
I don't have an explanation for it. I don't think anyone does. I'm noting that it's a grammatical train wreck.
It's not that a Constitution needs to be grammatical; it's that a Constitution needs to be clear. This isn't. It looks unfinished. It looks like somebody with a wig must have looked at the finished product and wailed, "who left that in there?"
Nomsayin'?
As long as any discussion of what it means and what it doesn't mean is a relevant question---- so is this.
