McCain status was nor recognized that’s why the congress passed an extraconstitutional resolution to cover his ass.-
With regard to the Congressional resolution concerning McCain, this was instigated by Democrats in Congress. Whenever Birtherism works to their advantage, Democrats bring it up. In 2016, both the New York Times and the Washington Post ran op eds questioning whether Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were natural born citizens. When Democrats do this, it’s just “good politics.” When people on our side do this, it “racist.” No. There are genuine concerns for loyalty, and the possibility that “natural born citizen” means something different from “citizen at birth” (that had been long resolved). Although there are no guarantees, a natural born citizen is more inclined to love this country. Just look at the hate for this country by the two Muslim immigrants in the U.S. Congress. But, a lot of natural born citizen Democrats also hate this country nowadays. Think of Bernie Sanders. He went on his honeymoon to the Soviet Union. What does that tell you?
