RESOLUTION

Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.

Whereas the Constitution of the United States requires that, to be eligible for the Office of the President, a person must be a `natural born Citizen' of the United States;

Whereas the term `natural born Citizen', as that term appears in Article II, Section 1, is not defined in the Constitution of the United States;

Whereas there is no evidence of the intention of the Framers or any Congress to limit the constitutional rights of children born to Americans serving in the military nor to prevent those children from serving as their country's President;

Whereas such limitations would be inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the `natural born Citizen' clause of the Constitution of the United States, as evidenced by the First Congress's own statute defining the term `natural born Citizen';

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

Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a `natural born Citizen' under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.

They were the original birthers who put us on the trail.

They can spend Senate resources on a non-binding resolution, but 0 can't spend a few bucks?

Hey, State Run Media, are you ready for about 500 SR 511 rebuttals? Are you SURE you want to take this on this weekend?

[conservativegramma]

Key phrase from this bill:

Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936..

Plural. This bill affirms that BOTH parents have to be citizens. Spread this to everyone you know - this bill by itself disqualifies Obama - nevermind where he was born.

[txhurl]

Just cut & paste the text of the REAL original birthers’ Senate Resolution whenever the State Run Media makes a weak-wristed attempt at the issue.

Impeach the Kenyan...then deport him.

You know I heard about this at the time and thought it was very weird...

It just doesn’t pass the smell test.

[theFIRMbss]

>Hey, State Run Media...

None of these people
felt any imperative
to do this same thing

for Obama. That
is a clue his paperwork
must be in order.

[MHGinTN]

And he signed onto that definition! ... But his shills working FR will retort that if one is born on US soil, that makes one a natural born citizen ... ignoring completely that the resolution focuses on McCain having American citizen PARENTS without noting the addition requirement of ‘on US soil which they added regarding being born in the Canal zone. Which is of itself under suspicion and I think the trap Leahy et al laid for the feckless idiot McCain should he have been elected, to disqaulify him on grounds he was actually born in Colon, Panama.

[MHGinTN]

Bwahahahaha ... by his own words he contradicts what he signed onto in McCain’s case. Nice try, doofus.

[txhurl]

Not only did he sign on to it, he tried to slip in verbiage favorable to his OWN case.

Verbiage didn’t make it.

[conservativegramma]

Yep, McCaskill tried to pass legislation that changed the definition of natural born to only ‘one’ citizen parent instead of two. It failed. Definition of TWO parents stands! Obama isn’t eligible!!

Impeach the Kenyan...then deport him.

Let's send the military to get him in his pajamas and drop him in Costa Rica so he can hang out with his buds, Chavez, Ortega, Castro, and Zelaya.

I read somewhere that Hillary tried to broaden this to cover just about anyone born abroad to US citizens to be “NBC”.

The lying mainstream media, not ashamed of their partisan effort to elect the fraud Obama, are pulling out all stops to defend him from questions about his eligibility.

Remember this one fact readers, above all else, these people posing as journalists are the worst kind of yellow liars, and everything they tell you on this issue will be a lie.

The biggest lie they will tell you is that Obama has produced his birth certificate.

He has not.

He should though, for its all he has to do to make this whole thing go away.

Remember.

I have always claimed the media are corrupt.

The lies they will tell on this issue, warming up to be the biggest news story the US has seen in decades, prove once and for all that there are almost no real journalists out there any more and that the left have infiltrated the profession and are using it to propagandize for their ideology.

True journalists would be acting for the people and demanding that any POTUS should show the full birth certificate, a task so simple it is unbelievable Obama should spend hundreds of thousands to avoid doing so.

It makes it clear to me that the first step to restoring our Republic is to cleanse the mainstream media of socialist liars posing as journalists. The current mainstream media must be driven to bankruptcy and real reporters and journalists must replace the current gang of deceitful liars.

The most recent move the stinking yellow media have adopted is to name those who wish to see the US Constitution upheld as “Birthers”.

For the uninitiated, this is a term used by the media to ridicule those who believe that Obama has not ever produced the long form birth certificate showing full details of his birth, and is therefore ineligible to be president in the first place.

The US Constitution demands that the US President be born in The US. I happen to believe that Constitution to be the most important factor, much more important than the ambitions of a snivelling transitory socialist scumbag who has managed to hide every detail of his past life from the public.

It is the job of journalists to demand accountability from politicians. They are so in the tank for this charlatan that it is a crime, and if there is ever a civil war or any kind of armed uprising, these yellow scum, who have betrayed their profession to their ideology, will almost certainly be the first to swing from sturdy lamp posts by their necks and strong hemp ropes.

Remember, the bottom line to this issue is that Mr. Obama can stop all of the questioning by simply producing the long form certificate, and not the Certification Of Live Birth (COLB) that he has tried to pass off as a birth certificate. The same document his half sister who freely admits to being born in Indonesia has produced.

When Mr. Obama produces his true Birth Certificate, and it confirms what is shown on the Certification of Live Birth, the case is closed.

Everyone knows of course that a senate resolution does not have the force of law...

[txhurl]

Whereas the term `natural born Citizen’, as that term appears in Article II, Section 1, is not defined in the Constitution of the United States;

In retrospect, they really were were working with crayolas, huh :)

[BP2]

The definition used by the Senate is based upon Vattel's Law of Nations. Here's some FACTS about Vattel's book:

-- On Monday, March 10, 1794, during the height of young Republic’s neutrality crisis, the Senate ordered: “That the Secretary purchase Blackstone’s Commentaries, and Vattel’s Law of Nature and Nations, for the use of the Senate.” This purchase order for these first books that the Senate bought was apparently the only books the Senate ordered in the eighteenth century

-- The first American edition was published in New York in 1796 (SEE THAT EDITION BELOW). Vattel’s book, according to Benjamin Franklin as early as 1775, was “continually in the hands of the members of our Congress now sitting.”

No, it’s just a ‘sense of the Senate’.

But it does take a million more times energy than just picking up the phone, calling the Hawa’ii Dept of Vital Statistics and saying ‘ship me a copy of my long form so I don’t have to get the US House AND Senate involved in this.’

[Prodigal Son]

Thanks for posting that. I have heard about this definition by Vattel but this is the first time I have seen it.
