President. that "persons" in section 1 means something different from "persons" in section 2 demonstrates that "persons" in the abstract is an ambiguous term whose meaning is to be determined by the context and the purpose of the Constitution. I submit to you today. and it is undisputed that the courts have not ruled on this precise question. and this is a great opportunity to take it forward rather than hiding behind it and saying. look. it is 1990. we cannot get it out there. We can get it out there. We can do something about it because otherwise a lot of people are going to benefit from the counting of illegal aliens and it is going to distort the U.S. House of Representatives. It is going to hurt a lot of States.
