While I was sitting in the library today wasting my time my friend who is in an American Heritage class sent me this. Count how many times that Article Two says He. :D

Article II
Section 1. The executive Power
shall be vested in a President of the United
States of America. He shall hold his Office
during the Term of four Years, and, together
with the Vice President, chosen for the same
Term, be elected, as follows
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner
as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number
of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators
and Representatives to which the State
may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or
Representative, or Person holding an Office of
Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be
appointed an Elector.
The Electors shall meet in their respective
States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of
whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of
the same State with themselves. And they
shall make a List of all the Persons voted for,
and of the Number of Votes for each; which List
they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed
to the Seat of the Government of the United
States, directed to the President of the Senate.
The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence
of the Senate and House of Representatives,
open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall
then be counted. The Person having the greatest
Number of Votes shall be the President, if such
Number be a Majority of the whole Number of
Electors appointed; and if there be more than one
who have such Majority, and have an equal
Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives
shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of
them for President: and if no Person have a Majority,
then from the five highest on the List the
said House shall in like Manner chuse the President.
But in chusing the President, the Votes
shall be taken by States, the Representation
from each State having one Vote; A quorum for
this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members
from two thirds of the States, and a Majority
of all the States shall be necessary to a
Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the
President, the Person having the greatest Number
of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice
President. But if there should remain two or
more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall
chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.
The Congress may determine the Time of
chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they
shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the
same throughout the United States.
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or
a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the
Adoption of this 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.
In Case of the Removal of the President
from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability
to discharge the Powers and Duties of
the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the
Vice President, and the Congress may by Law
provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation
or Inability, both of the President and
Vice President, declaring what Officer shall
then act as President, and such Officer shall act
accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or
a President shall be elected.
The President shall, at stated Times, re-

ceive for his Services, a Compensation, which
shall neither be encreased nor diminished during
the Period for which he shall have been
elected, and he shall not receive within that
Period any other Emolument from the United
States, or any of them.
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office,
he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:-
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that
I will faithfully execute the Office of President
of the United States, and will to the best of my
Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution
of the United States.”
Section 2. The President shall be Commander
in Chief of the Army and Navy of the
United States, and of the Militia of the several
States, when called into the actual Service of
the United States; he may require the Opinion,
in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the
executive Departments, upon any Subject relating
to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he
shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons
for Offences against the United States, except
in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the
Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties,
provided two thirds of the Senators present
concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with
the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint
Ambassadors, other public Ministers and
Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all
other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments
are not herein otherwise provided
for, and which shall be established by Law: but
the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment
of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in
the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in
the Heads of Departments.
The President shall have Power to fill up
all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess
of the Senate, by granting Commissions
which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
Section 3. He shall from time to time give
to the Congress Information of the State of the
Union, and recommend to their Consideration
such Measures as he shall judge necessary and
expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions,
convene both Houses, or either of them, and in
Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect
to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn
them to such Time as he shall think proper; he
shall receive Ambassadors and other public
Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be
faithfully executed, and shall Commission all
the Officers of the United States.
Section 4. The President, Vice President
and all civil Officers of the United States, shall
be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and
Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High
Crimes and Misdemeanors.
 
Hillary is prolly more of a MAN than any one on this board :neener: i mean look at her mullet
 
Unfortunately, I have to side with Hillary on this.

She has bigger balls than her husband. That's not even me trashing her by political party or anything - I seriously would be afraid to be in the same room with her.
 
All kidding aside, you can't claim this one unless you want to throw out all of the female senators and congresswomen. Article I specifically states "he" in at least one place each describing their qualifications.
 
At one time the pronoun, "he," was generic for male or female if the gender of the person to whom the text pertained was unknown. The same way "man" can mean "human" of either gender.

This "he/she" or "he or she" or "s/he" or "(s)he" crap is a recent develpment.

The 1913 Webster's dictionary's second definition for "he" is:

2. Any one; the man or person; -- used indefinitely, and usually followed by a relative pronoun.
 
At one time the pronoun, "he," was generic for male or female if the gender of the person to whom the text pertained was unknown.
He is still the proper pronoun if the gender of the person to whom the text pertains is unknown.

I busted out laughing when I read this.

"So, are you disputing Hillary's manliness??"


Nice!

Also consider that when the Constitution was written in was impossible for a woman to become president. Women weren't allowed to vote in federal elections until 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment.
 
Oh, no.

Hell no.

We are NOT going to argue, even in jest, about whether women are constitutionally eligible to be elected to high office.
