The 2004 hearings quoted by WND show Orrin Hatch to be almost as unreliable as Barney Frank in terms of trying to change the Constitution by legislation rather than amendment. This is the same Hatch, it should be remembered, who tried to do an end run around the Constitution by endorsing a notion that DC should get an additional seat in the House while Utah would get an additional seat as well. Both of these episodes are black marks on Hatch's credentials as a "conservative."
Oh, no it wasn't. Try 2008. Sponsored by Claire McCaskill, co-sponsored by Barack Obama (D-IL), Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Tom Coburn (R-OK).
S.2678, the Children Of Military Natural Born Citizen Act.
This was followed, bizarrely enough, by Senate Resolution SR 511, purporting to affirm that John McCain was a child of military parents born abroad, and yet still a natural-born citizen, despite their Bill proposing a Constitutional Amendment to make children born abroad natural-born citizens.
Both cannot be true.
In 2004? The man is either a prophet or he knew what was going on.
