It was a non-binding resolution, nothing like those things issued by a court of law.

Where did it say: "Nonbinding Senate Resolution 511"??? Are you saying that the Senate that voted to accept Obama's electoral votes does not know what is meant by the term "natural born citizen"???. Then I guess their acceptance of his electoral votes was likewise non-binding.

It doesn't say he was born on U.S. territory, but on a U.S. military base. And there is some question as to whether that is correct of if he was, in fact, born in a hospital in Colon.

I guess to settle that question the Senate asked to take a look at his birth certificate and he showed it to them without hesitation, or they wouldn't have put that in the resolution, would they??? Either way, birth on a military base AND of two American citizens was essential to the Senate definition of "natural born citizen". Does Obama meet those qualifications???

Did the Senate see Obama's birth certificate??? Did they know that both his parents were not citizens??? Where's Obama's Senate Resolution 511 -- binding or non-binding???

It's non-binding because it was not sent to the President to be signed into law. And the reason why it was never intended to be signed into law is because it deals with a matter that the Senate has no jurisdiction over. The Senate could not declare John McCain a natural-born citizen unless the law first said he was. Anymore than they could declare he was not a natural-born citizen if the law said he was.

I guess to settle that question the Senate asked to take a look at his birth certificate and he showed it to them without hesitation, or they wouldn't have put that in the resolution, would they???

Can you point out just where that non-binding resolution refers to McCain's birth certificate? Or any other documentation?
