To Be He or Not To Be He..or She?

Think about these words for a conversation starter with your daughter (or son).
"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."
These words in Article II, Section I of our Constitution sends yet another message to our daughters (and sons) about limited career opportunities. Does this use of He and His throughout this document indicate that our Founding Fathers meant for the presidency to be occupied by men? The realities of today's world demonstrate to us that women are just as capable as men in regards to every career choice including public office chief! Recently Hillary Rodham Clinton ran an almost successful campaign to become president. Had she won, would she have been able to take office according to our constitution? This gender bias needs to be addressed if our children are going to grow respecting the talents and skills of both sexes.

A 28th amendment which states that a woman can hold the most powerful position in our nation would be a good start!
