I didn't say there was anything wrong with the grammar. It is unclear phrasing.

Some of the most brilliant authors (yes, American authors included) required heavy editing before they were published. They still do. When it comes to something like an amendment to a constitution, it needs to be clear. If it were clear, would you and willravel be having this debate?
