Man couldn't fly, either, when the Constitution was written, but we have

So why not lobby for a constitutional amendment that would clarify the
issue? Barring that, sue for the elimination of the air force.

Nothing needs clarification. That cute phrase is to explain the purpose of
the constitution. It has ZERO weight.

In fact, if any imbiciles think the intro to the constitution is meaningful,
they probably read the ramblings on the walls of outhouses with serious
introspection also.
