Here’s the link to the resolution stating that McCain is a Natural Born Citizen.

Lots of good quotes, like:
My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen, Chertoff replied.
That is mine, too, said Leahy.
And, the final conclusion that was signed by Barack Obama, himself:
Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born Citizen under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.
Cheers
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 doesnt. There is but one defintion that a natural born citizen has to have citizen parents and being born in country and that is Vattels 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 bodys 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.
Arrogance defined, grrrrr.
If only he were declared president by default of Obama's ineligibility.
Then we could impeach him.
