          U.S. citizens,3 but there are no members of Congress that are               
          resident aliens to represent people in situations such as                   
          petitioner.  It is sufficient to point out that the Constitution

          art. I, secs. 2 and 3.  This Court must support and apply the               
          Constitution as written.

               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        for respondent.
