There is no need to rehash past history since the Senate staffers already did that for us all. This Resolution is the most contemporary and authoritative determination of what "natural born citizen" means. Why argue history and law when the Senate has settled the issue for us all, determining in SR511 that "natural born" meant a person born of two American citizen parents and on American territory.
The Senate has spoken -- the issue is settled. There is no way around it. Let's make them stand by their own words and explain how Obama can be qualified for the Presidency given their proverbial wisdom in SR 511. He can't!!! and They can't!!!
Whereas the well-being of all citizens of the United States is preserved and enhanced by the men and women who are assigned to serve our country outside of our national borders;
Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President; and
This resolution doesn't seem to apply to nonmilitary parents.
Also, which other presidential candidates were born outside the country, and why were they "understood" to be eligible? Isn't Barack Obama "understood" to be eligible? Does "understood" mean no mainstream media dared to question someone's eligibility? (How right was Marshall McLuhan??)
“the Senate has settled the issue for us all, determining in SR511 that ‘natural born’ meant a person born of two American citizen parents and on American territory.”
But McCain wasn’t born on U.S. soil, was he? Anyway, I’ve not read the resolution, but I doubt it said that ONLY people born of two American parents is a natural born citizen. I’m sure it simply said that McCain is a natural born citizen for that reason.
