Nowhere in Senate Resolution 511 does it say that two U.S. Citizen parents are REQUIRED. The non-binding senate resolution merely acknowledges the fact that both of John McCain’s parents were U.S. citizens at the tine of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone.
The exact wording: “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:
That John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born Citizen under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.”
If such a resolution is ever needed for Senator Cruz, a bi-partisan group of senators will co-sponsor it.
“If such a resolution is ever needed for Senator Cruz, a bi-partisan group of senators will co-sponsor it.”
1. The resolution was deliberately made nonbinding and not a law.
2. The resolution was factually incorrect insofar as it falsely implied the U.S. Canal Zone was within the jurisdiction of an incorporated territory and Article III courts required for natural born citizenship, when in fact the U.S. Canal Zone was an unincorporated territory of the U.S., outside the jurisdiction of the Article III courts required for natural born citizenship, and within the jurisdiction of the territorial courts sufficient only for automatic naturalized citizenship at birth.
3. The resolution may or may not have incorrectly stated the place of birth as having occurred within the U.S. Canal Zone. John McCain III has refused to disclose his true birth certificate to the public, and the only copy of his birth certificate available to the public is a copy filed in a lawsuit without authentication of its provenance, which states John McCain was born in the Colon Hospital, Colon, Republic of Panama and not at the Coco Solo Navy Hospital, Coco Solo Naval Station, Canal Zone.
4. No child born outside the jurisdiction of the Constitution’s Article III courts can acquire U.S. citizenship by any means other than naturalization, except when under the protection of diplomatic immunity.
