Women can't legally be president!

Linkage. (thiefed from feministing)

This guy is so full of shit it's not even funny. The only part of the Constitution he references in this article is the nineteenth amendment, which gave women the right to vote. It's like he thinks the Constitution is all amendments or something. Well, turns out, there's a little section before the amendments that says who can and can't be president.

Now, throughout Article II, the president is referred to as "he," but that by no means limits the presidency to a man. This was written back in the day, before women's lib and all, so the language used was predominantly masculine. The pronoun used for all humanity back then was also "he." Does this mean the founding fathers believed all the people in the world were male? No. It means they wrote how they were taught, from their male perspective.

So does the Constitution specifically prohibit a woman from becoming president? Well, here are the requirements, let's see:

Article II, Section 1, [5]
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of the Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. [emphasis mine]

This part of the Constitution, listing the requirements to hold the office of President of the United States, does not use the word "he." It uses "person." The language is entirely gender neutral.

The idea that the nineteenth amendment actually prevents a woman from being president is ludicrous. The Constitution has historically given people rights, not taken them away. This moron need to actually read the Constitution for what I assume would be the first time.
