Yes, I know about the Senate resolution.

Many people think it was a smoke screen to help Obama with his problems in this matter.

You jumped into a thread I was having with Beckwith based on the contention that to be a natural born citizen you have to be born of two US citizens in one of the 50 states.

There seems to be some validity on both sides of the argument.

Some findings say if you’re born in the US you are a natural born citizen.

Some findings say if you’re born of two US citizens and in the US you are a natural born citizen.

And some say if you both your parents are US citizens then it doesn’t matter where you are born.

That’s the discussion.

Read all the posts. Someone said that Bobby Jindal couldn’t be President because his parents weren’t citizens when he was born in Louisiana. But a lot of people seem to be talking about him running for President.

And based on what other rulings say, McCain couldn’t be President either, no matter what the Senate Resolution (Not a Law) said.

Bill Richardson ran for President last year. He was born in the US but his mother was not a US citizen.

I don’t remember anyone saying he wasn’t eligble.

And this is what I’m getting at. There doesn’t seem to be ONE definition of ‘natural born citizen’

And no, I don’t think Obama is a natural born citizen.

For the record, for newbies who are lurking on this thread, THIS is the commonly-accepted definition of
Natural Born Citizen, from the same book that was the FIRST book purchased for the US Senate, in
1793 -- the Law of Nations:

Natural-Born Citizen - definition

Correct on two accounts:

1) there is no modern definition of what 'natural born citizen' means (though as you rightly pointed out, that is not a factor since we have no legitimate evidence of where the affirmative action feraud was born);

2) the Senate resolution was non-binding and as such was not a law and could not confer that which is in need of Constitutional regulation, so it is an astonishingly overlooked issue that the Senate would go to such trouble to address specifically the issue of 'natural born citizenship'.

It cannot be emphasized enough that the thing claimed by the White House Press Secretary to be a CoLB sent from the state of Hawaii to Barry and displayed on the Internet as his 'proof' has been deemed in a lawsuit over California delegates to be unacceptable as proof of anything since it is likely not an authemtic document, and this proclamation by a retired FBI documents expert in the Keyes case.
