It's obviously not, or you wouldn't find so many people (successfully!) arguing against your interpretation.

That's one of the problems with a codified constitution that's as ossified as the one in the US: the language used gets interpreted, and so the meaning of the language depends on the interpretations favoured by whoever's currently holding the reins.
