thanx. The resolution shows that congress recognizes the NBC eligibility requirement and that they gave Obama a pass.

The whole thing needs to be dealt with on a more general basis.

By that i mean that the relevant section in Article II NEVER defined the term “Natural Born Citizen”. i would suppose the intent would have been understood on the basis of English Common Law, as was much of our Constitution. However lack of explicit definition of terms has lead to much trouble.

On that basis, i’m not certain that the courts would be the appropriate place to argue the matter.

The idea that a citizen of this country has no status to file a challenge to eligibility of a Presidential Candidate is irksome to me.
