So was the Senate resolution about McCain essentially worthless?

Yes. The Senate reolution has no standing in the law.

If it did, it would only reaffirm McCain’s ineligibility as a “statutory” citizen, under Title 8, US Code 1401.

The real question is, why was a bunch of partisan, progressive Democratic senators trying to help their Republican opponent in the middle of a presidential campaign?

What kind of a deal was made?

As I refered to SR 511. SR511 is a non-binding, non-lawful understanding, that can not be held as a LAW. Being such, a non-binding resolution is a written motion adopted by a deliberative body that cannot progress into a law. The substance of the resolution can be anything that can normally be proposed as a motion.This type of resolution is often used to express the body’s approval or disapproval of something which they cannot otherwise vote on, due to the matter being handled by another jurisdiction, or being protected by a constitution.
