Composition fallacy, yet again.

Not at all. McCain's ONLY claim to citizenship is through his parents. That this meets the "natural born citizen" standard is what the constitution has meant all along. (As further stipulated in the "Naturalization act of 1790." That a Unanimous Senate would confirm this simply reinforces the point that this is the central requirement of the condition.

Good try, but no. That part of the Naturalization act dealt with those born outside of the US. You have now decided that agreeing that McCain met conditions for “natural born” when born OUTSIDE the US, now means all those conditions apply to those born inside.

Again, if you are taking the resolution as binding on conditions for natural born, it now means that only those born on a military base qualify. Logical fallacies abound.
