Senate says McCain can be president although born overseas
(AFP) – Apr 30, 2008

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The Senate unanimously resolved Wednesday that Republican presumptive candidate John McCain is eligible to be US president even though he was born abroad, in the Panama Canal zone.

The bipartisan measure put an end to a controversy raised by The New York Times in February, and was supported by all senators, including the two Democrats vying to run for the White House in November, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

You said he had to prove it, which he did not. What you're referring to was a non-binding Senate resolution in response to a bogus California suit claiming McCain was not a natural born citizen. And if you read the resolution it gets the circumstances of McCain's birth wrong, so it is an unapplicable, non-binding Senate resolution. Can anything be more worthless than that?
