Article II, Section 1

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...
He? His? More:
In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death....
The Constitution continues:
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation...
Not a single "her" or "She" so far:
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...
Apparently, no female Commander-In-chief was wanted.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties...
Something Bush has not done. But to him, the Constitution is just a "damned piece of paper".
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union...
Nope, not a single "she" or "her" anywhere in the entire section.

Makes you wonder if the Clintons - or the democratic party - have ever read the Constitution of the United States. We would need a Constitutional amendment allowing a female president before we could vote one in.

That's the way it is.
