Pure total and complete unadulterated BS.... Natural born citizenship as once adhered to and taught was by definition, born to both US citizen parents on US soil.

This is simply false.

Why else would the US Senate need ‘resolve’ https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/sres511/text joke is on you ... bunch of scribes.

The real question is, since when is U.S. citizenship determined by Senate proclamation?

The Senate issued a non-binding resolution regarding John McCain because it was not an issue the government wanted to thrash out in court.

Military bases overseas are not U.S. territory. Being born on a military base overseas is irrelevant to acquiring U.S. citizenship at birth. The Senate resolution avoided the actual legal issue surrounding McCain's claim to being a natural born citizen.

The 14th amendment states all persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States.

The Act of May 24, 1934 provided,

"SEC. 1993. Any child hereafter born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, whose father or mother or both at the time of the birth of such child is a citizen of the United States, is declared to be a citizen of the United States; but the rights of citizenship shall not descend to any such child unless the citizen father or citizen mother, as the case may be, has resided in the United States previous to the birth of such child. In cases where one of the parents is an alien, the right of citizenship shall not descend unless the child comes to the United States and resides therein for at least five years continuously immediately previous to his eighteenth birthday, and unless, within six months after the child's twenty-first birthday, he or she shall take an oath of allegiance to the United States of America as presented by the Bureau of Naturalization.”

Congress screwed up in 1934. McCain was born in 1936.

The 1937 Federal law applicable to birth in Panama declared:

Any person born in the Canal Zone on or after February 26, 1904, and whether before or after the effective date of this chapter, whose father or mother or both at the time of the birth of such person was or is a citizen of the United States, is declared to be a citizen of the United States.

Congress fixed the problem in 1937.

The problem, as pointed out in a law review article by Professor Gabriel Chin, was that McCain was born outside the territory of the United States, but (according to the McCain book) within the jurisdiction of the United States, in the Canal Zone. The statute as written in 1934 only covered those born outside the territory and jurisdiction. The treaty in effect gave the United States authority to exert jurisdiction within the Canal Zone as if it were the sovereign, but Panama remained the actual sovereign.

From 1934 to 1937, there was a hole in the law. A fix granted citizenship to those affected retroactively. Nobody wanted to take on the legal question if McCain could be born an alien and be retroactively become a natural born citizen by Federal law.

So, they passed a Senate Resolution and made believe. Certainly, nobody wanted to take responsibility for making John McCain ineligible by congressional error in 1934. And McCain's autobiography claimed he was born in the Naval Hospital on Coco Solo air base, a hospital that had not yet been built in 1936. He may well have been born just off base in the hospital in Colon, Panama. McCain never produced his birth certificate.
