Funny how hussein and Hillary stated in their very own Senate Resolution 511 that NBC meant born on US soil of two US citizen parents but no one has confronted him with that.

I think you're mistaken on that. Here's the text of S.Res 511: Link

Here's part of the discussion on the TWO US CITIZEN PARENTS that conveniently got lost from the final resolution. IIRC, there was more on them agreeing to the definition on Leahy's first posting on his site than is shown here. Scrubba dub dub. The bottom line is the usurper agreed to the born on US soil of two US citizen parents. As did Hillary. As did McCaskill who has tried numerous times to throw out NBC from the Constitution.

Senators: McCain Is A ‘Natural Born Citizen’

Senators Introduce ResolutionTo Make Clear Senate’s Position On Candidate’s Status

WASHINGTON (Thursday, April 10, 2008) – Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and ClaireMcCaskill (D-Mo.) today introduced a resolution expressing the sense of the U.S. Senatethat presidential candidate and current Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) is a ‘naturalborn Citizen,’ as specified in the Constitution and eligible to run for President.In February, published a report calling into question the legality of McCain’s presidential run. McCain was born to American citizens stationed on anAmerican Naval base in the Panama Canal Zone. He has since served in the U.S. Navy,and, since 1983, has served in the U.S. Congress.“Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that SenatorMcCain is a natural born citizen,” said Leahy. “I expect that this will be a unanimousresolution of the Senate.”“It is silly for anyone to argue that Senator McCain is not eligible to become president,”said McCaskill. “I would hope that this is something we can all agree on, for goodnesssakes.”At a Judiciary Committee hearing on April 3, Leahy asked Homeland SecuritySecretary Michael Chertoff, himself a former Federal judge, if he had doubts thatMcCain was eligible to serve as President.“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents,you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied.“That is mine, too,” said Leahy.The text of the resolution and Leahy’s remarks follow.

Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.Whereas the Constitution of the United States requires that, to be eligible for the Officeof the President, a person must be a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ of the United States;Whereas the term ‘‘natural born Citizen’’, as that term appears in Article II, Section 1,is not defined in the Constitution of the United States;Whereas there is no evidence of the intention of the Framers or any Congress to limitthe constitutional rights of children born to American citizens serving in the militarynor to prevent those children from serving as their country’s President;Whereas such limitations would be inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the‘‘natural born Citizen’’ clause of the Constitution of the United States, as evidenced bythe First Congress’s own statute defining the term ‘‘natural born Citizen’’;Whereas the well-being of all citizens of the United States is preserved and enhanced bythe men and women who are assigned to serve our country outside of our nationalborders;Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President; and Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an Americanmilitary base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.

Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.),Chairman, Committee On The Judiciary,On The Introduction Of A Senate Resolution

April 10, 2008

Today I join Senator Claire McCaskill in introducing a resolution to express thecommon sense of everyone here that Senator McCain is a “natural born Citizen,” as theterm is used in the Constitution of the United States. Our Constitution contains threerequirements for a person to be eligible to be President – the person must have reachedthe age of 35; must have resided in America for 14 years; and must be a ‘‘natural bornCitizen’’ of the United States. Certainly there is no doubt that Senator McCain is of sufficient years on this earth and in this country given that he has been serving inWashington for over 25 years. However, some pundits have raised the question of whether he is a “natural born Citizen” because he was born outside of the officialborders of the United States.John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American Naval base inthe Panama Canal Zone in 1936. Numerous legal scholars have looked into the purposeand intent of the “natural born Citizen” requirement. As far as I am aware, no one hasunearthed any reason to think that the Framers would have wanted to limit the rightsof children born to military families stationed abroad or that such a limited view wouldserve any noble purpose enshrined in our founding document. Based on theunderstanding of the pertinent sources of constitutional meaning, it is widely believedthat if someone is born to American citizens anywhere in the world they are naturalborn citizens.It is interesting to note that another previous presidential candidate, George Romney,was also born outside of the United States. He was widely understood to be eligible to bePresident. Senator Barry Goldwater was born in a U.S territory that later became theState of Arizona so some even questioned his eligibility. Certainly the millions of Americans who voted for these two Republican candidates believed that they wereeligible to assume the office of the President. The same is true today.Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that SenatorMcCain is a natural born citizen. I recently asked Secretary of Homeland SecurityMichael Chertoff, a former Federal judge, if he had any doubts in his mind. He did not.I ask unanimous consent that the relevant excerpt from the Judiciary Committeehearing where Secretary Chertoff testified be made a part of the record.I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate and I thank the Senator"
