If Obama was born on US soil, he is a natural born citizen thru jus solis. It wouldn't matter who his parents were except if they were diplomats accredited to the US.

That is not what the Senate determined in its Resolution 511. According to it, the natural born status of John McCain addressed in the Resolution rested also upon his birth from American citizens -- that's a plural not a singular.

Even this Senate Resolution backs up Leo Donofrio's case.

I think Leo or somebody mentioned that! Hilarious. Leo said the Senate’s Resolution was meaningless and pretty much illegal. What is hilarious is the Senate, in passing this resolution, does not think Obama is qualified.

I heard now that Pelosi is stepping in saying Obama is elegible! This is an outrage!

We are clearly being screwed over by the Excuetive (to be) Branch being helped by the Legislative Branch (Pelosi, Senate & Secretaries of State not doing their job, and possibly Gov Linda Ligle in HI).

SCOTUS or Judicial is the third branch that is SUPPOSED to protect the Constitution and the electorate from abuse by the Legislative and Executive (to be - in McCain & Obama).
These cases are why SCOTUS is there! The Framers wanted it that way!

John McCain was not born on US soil, but he was born of two US citizen parents, which would make him natural born under current US statues.
