I am speaking as a lawyer here, so don't start calling me an Obot.

I wouldn't do that, I know who the obots are on these threads. We ran into each other on the NBC thread the other day: Here if any one missed it, great thread

Even if it turns out that he wasn't born in the States, wouldn't it still come down to the NBC issue.

I just know they would argue it doesn't matter because his mom was a citizen, therefore he meets the requirements.

There is a lot of rulings and historical evidence to back up the definition of NBC, being born of two citizen parents.

I really hate to see our Country and Constitution being torn to shreds like this by this commie.

Even SR 511 defined McCain as being eligible because of two citizen parents, this whole thing really frustrates me.

There are also a lot of rulings saying that anyone born on U.S. soil, even to two alien parents, is an NBC. There is no absolutely definitive SCOTUS ruling, but the courts are not going to use a doubtful precedent to overturn the will of the voters.

Because he wasn't born on U.S. soil. There is a lot of case law that birth on U.S. soil is enough. (I will concede that there are arguments both ways, but that is not going to be enough to get SCOTUS to overturn an election, IMO.)

McCain's NBC status was determined by Hillary and Hussein himself and we have actual quotes agreeing the definition came down to TWO parents. Of course, McCain's actual place of birth was stretching it, but that's another argument. I want to know why, if we had to hold a Senate Resolution for one candidate, why wasn't there a committee to determine the other... first black... candidate? What's good for the goose and all.
