From the article:

"The Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution"

Passing a resolution is not the same thing as holding hearings. As I said, no hearings were held to determine McCain's eligibility.

U.S. Senate ends McCain citizenship debate

Passing (or failing to pass) a sense of the Senate resolution is just a political stunt. It provides no controlling legal authority. In this case, it's as if they passed a sense of the Senate that two plus two is four.

The fact is, both McCain and Obama are eligible, since both are citizens by birth, which is what NBC means.

And even if Obama were shown not have been a citizen at birth, we'd still need 67 senators to do anything about it. But if we had 67 senators, bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia would be excuse enough to remove him. No need to sort out the circumstances of his birth or get into NBC esoterica.

The article reads as if it were up to the Congress to determine if McCain is “natural born.” Well if they want to Amend the Constitution then it might be, but meanwhile, they do not get to determine his status.

The fact is....McCain is “natural born” and Obama is not.
