There was no need for the resolution because the law already provided that persons born in the US Canal Zone of US citizens are US Citizens. The resolution had no legal impact anyway because statutes control citizenship, not senate resolutions.

The entire purpose of the resolution was to put to rest before the birther kooks who they anticipated would try to claim that mccain wasnt a natural born citizen. And it mostly worked.

It was a legally unnecessary move but it served its intended purpose.
