>> Except S.Res.511 didn’t claim to define natural born citizen under all circumstances. It just said that under the laws in place at the time, the conditions of McCain’s birth made him a natural born citizen.
So if the Senate passed a non-binding resolution stating that Obama was a natural born citizen would you accept that?<<
it did not need to define under all circumstances. It clearly states in the debate that because he was born of TWO us Citizens that he was eligible.
If the senate has an open hearing at this point and a fair one, but it would haveto go as McCains did and be approved as Mccains was.
The point to ponder is, Leahy’s little ploy used ‘two’ for McCain and would not be voided if they truned around and stated ‘one’ for Obama. They do not have the Constitutional authority to amend the Constitution of sit in judgment for interpretation of same!
Read the language of the resolution. There's an error in it - McCain wasn't born on a military base. So does that invalidate the resolution and make him ineligible?
