A T-shirt is a short-sleeved collarless shirt with an unadjustable opening to put your head through, made of a thin, soft knitted material (usually cotton). If it's sleeveless or long-sleeved, it's not a T-shirt. If the shirt opens in back or in front, or if the neck opening buttons up, it's not a T-shirt. If it has a collar, it's not a T-shirt. If it's made of flannel, leather, shiny plastic or chain mail, it's not a T-shirt. If it's woven, not knitted, it's not a T-shirt. That leaves a lot of possibilities beyond T-shirt and bare-chested.

Steel-toed boots and hard hat. People with crushed feet and dented skulls have problems performing well on construction sites.

Siemens in Cheshire, Ct. did something like that.Once a year as the weather turned cold the warm air inside, still thick with water from the summer, would lose its water to the windows, and pools of water would end up on the windowsills. Anyone ignorant of the phenomenon (me) who left work documentation or books on the windowsills got important stuff damaged.

Just reading the law in sequence becomes a hugely tedious exercise

Just how much of value have you accomplished in your life, compared to a million-selling author of a major philosophy?

FWIW, it was Madison's argument that indirect election of U.S. Senators would result in good people (those in State legislatures) choosing the very best to become U.S. Senators, a kind of compounding of virtue. He either didn't see the potential problem or thought it insignificant compared to the available alternatives (and I agree with the latter possibility.)

So, what you are saying is that the Framers of the Constitution placed a provision in it which they knew meant nothing?

No. Both the letter of the law and its obvious intent have been perverted and violated.

There are many unconstitutional things that happened. The ACA itself is unconstitutional in a multitude of ways, the SCOTUS decisions notwithstanding. The House-Senate compromise bill was not actually legally passed in the Senate, jiggery-pokery by Harry Reid prevented the vote from occurring legally.

Further, critical votes in the Senate were made by persons there illegally, most notably Al Franken.
