However please be advised ‘WHY’ the Senate did SR511

http://nobarack08.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/senate-resolution-511-and-what-it-really-means/

Here is a partial excerpt;

So the Senate deemed that two (2) American or US Citizen parents was an essential to the definition of a ‘natural born citizen’ that was not defined in the Constitution. So how did they deem that the issue was being born outside the jurisdiction of the United States if they had no definition or requirements of what ‘constituted’ a ‘natural born citizen?’ It seems like they know the definition, but are hoping the American public doesn’t. There is but one defintion that a ‘natural born citizen’ has to have citizen parents and being born in country and that is Vattel’s Law of Nations.

As I refered to SR 511. SR511 is a non-binding, non-lawful understanding, that can not be held as a LAW. Being such, a non-binding resolution is a written motion adopted by a deliberative body that cannot progress into a law. The substance of the resolution can be anything that can normally be proposed as a motion.This type of resolution is often used to express the body’s approval or disapproval of something which they cannot otherwise vote on, due to the matter being handled by another jurisdiction, or being protected by a constitution.

Again, I will note: being protected by a constitution.

Right. It certainly isn’t a legally binding document explaining exactly what Our Founding Fathers understood “Natural Born” to mean.

I just find it interesting that Obama signed off on it. Now, he expects us all to forget what it was, in essence, that he was actually admitting to with his signature; That his own, signed interpretation of “natural born” is: Born of two u.s. citizens on soil controlled by America.

Obviously, he had no issues with the McCain resolution affirming that two U.S. citizens are required in conferring natural born status. Now, he and his sycophants are trying to convince us that the only thing required to confer Natural Born status is birth on soil controlled by America? How oleaginous is that?

Cheers

You do know what a non-binding resolution is, don’t you?
