Your mistake is that you are interpreting it as If AND ONLY IF A then b. I would argue for If A then B. B can be true even if A is not. And in fact the wording of the second clause clearly reveals that was the belief of the writers of the Constitution.

Are there any good books or sources of how people used English words in the 1700's? The meaning of words today and the way they were used are different than today. For instance... The Constitution says : Freedom OF Religion and it does not say: Freedom FROM Religion Freedom OF Religion means to me "Choice" By the same token, maybe someday, words today, are sometimes used totally differently than they were even 25 to 50 years ago. For instance... Rainbow Gay Fairy We used to call people who came across our borders, "Criminals." Today, depending on the POV, they are called ILLEGAL Aliens, ILLEGAL immigrants, or even just plain "immigrants" because some people seem not to know the difference between coming here with documentation, and exploiting our good will and coming in without documentation.
