“To me, this entire argument hinges on the original intent of the framers when they authored article 2.”

But that is not how some members of the Supreme Court view it.

Justice Scalia has written that in interpeting the Constitution, he does not look at the intent of the Framers, only what the words meant in 1787.

Well at this point, even that would satisfy me..... Because if the court takes up the issue and can accurately state what the words actually meant, then original intent will be more obvious.
