[Non-Sequitur]

But isn't Donofrio right here. Children of immigrant parents become citizens along with their parents, just not "natural born" citizens. However if born after their parents are naturalized, they become natural born citizens. Isn't that how it works???

No, according to the law children born in the U.S. are, with few exceptions, natural born U.S. citizens regardless of the nationality of their parents.

But surely the Senate would not draft a resolution that runs counter to the law, would they???

Not that I'd expect, but as I pointed out even without the resolution the law was clear in McCain's case. He is a natural born U.S. citizen through his parents.

Which interpretation would that be?? the one requiring both parents to be citizens or requiring him to be born on American territory??? And since he failed the latter and was born off the American military base, then it must be his birth by two American citizens, right???

He is a natural born U.S. citizen because both his parents were U.S. citizens who had resided in the U.S. for some time prior to his birth.

He [McCain] is a natural born U.S. citizen because both his parents were U.S. citizens who had resided in the U.S. for some time prior to his birth.

Something that cannot be said of both of Obama's parents.
