It's been a while since we had a declaratory and restrictive clause.

Amendment III


No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Hey! That declaratory and restrictive clause is still untainted!!!

P.S. Maybe I shouldn't say this, even on my own blog, but doesn't it just figure, that the one clause that would get me a strapping young man in my very own home is the one clause that hasn't been brutalized. Go figure . . .
