yes, he was born in Panama. But it was to US Parents, with his father stationed there in the Navy. He is as much a citizen of the US as I am, being born in the people’s republic of Massachusetts.

Now my sister was born in Tokyo when my Dad was stationed there after the war. She had a helluva time getting a passport back in the 80’s. Kind of funny.

But, she too is a citizen. But you wouldnt want her as president.

You can be a citizen because your parents are citizens. But citizenship doesn’t equal eligibility for the office of the President. The requirement, per Article II, for eligibility to be President states you must be born here.

The Democrats are just waiting to spring this on Republicans after the nominating convention.

The US Senate can pass all kinds of nicely worded statements - those do not have the weight of the US Constitution. It can take years to add amendments to the US Constitution.
