I think that you are confusing the Constitution with the Bible, where people take wide latitude extrapolating what the writers were "envisioning".
If this was a creative writing class here, you would get an "A". Since it is a discussion of the laws of the land, you get a flag and have to do 7th grade over again.
Then again, you get points for gonads, just like your heroes in the WH, for staring straight into the camera and justifying the Iraq invasion on the basis of broken UN resolutions while at the same time explaining why we do not have to abide by their authority. Hey, maybe that will be Saddam's defense; that he did not recognize the UN's legitimacy because of the oil-for-food scam. He could call you for a character witness. Or Dick Cheney.
