If it's already installed, a chisel/

If it's not installed, a table saw or circular saw with multiple cuts.

How would you go about cutting a notch in a regular 2x4 stud

another).

I guess a jigsaw could be used but it seems that there's
got to be a better way. What tool should be used to make
this cut?
