So, this decision by the state court in Indiana stated the wrong Constitutional clause from where the actual requirement comes from

There's an easy explanation for that: the original Constitution, of course, didn't number the clauses. That's done later, for reference. The original Clause 3 was later superseded by the 12th Amendment. In versions of the Constitution you can find online, that clause is often highlighted somehow because of the change. So if you don't count Clause 3 (because it's been replaced), that makes the original Clause 5 now Clause 4.

Yeah, if "you don't count" Clause 3, you can also state that WKA was the guidance used to find Barry an NBC, even though "you" (the court) admit that the WKA court did not find him to be a NBC.

Clear as mud.
