Wrong. If there were challenges to McCain’s eligibilty in the courts ( if he had been elected ) then the Congressional Record could be entered as evidence. The CR has been entered as evidence in cases where they were arguing over Constitutional matters in the past.

"Wrong. If there were challenges to McCain’s eligibility in the courts ( if he had been elected ) then the Congressional Record could be entered as evidence." What part of "non-binding resolution" don't you understand?

Can a congressional record be entered into evidence in a civil or criminal tribunal? You betcha. Which is exactly why so many people who testify in front Congressional sub-committees during a scandal demand, limited, full or use immunity. But, NON-binding resolutions carry NO weight in a courtroom - none whatsoever. They literally aren't worth the paper they're printed on, legally speaking - of course.
