Senators Introduce Resolution To Make Clear Senate’s Position On Candidate’s Status
Senators: McCain Is A ‘Natural Born Citizen’
Excerpt:
WASHINGTON (Thursday, April 10, 2008) Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) today introduced a resolution expressing the sense of the U.S. Senate that presidential candidate and current Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) is a ‚Äònatural born Citizen,’ as specified in the Constitution and eligible to run for President.
In February, The New York Times [a well-known liberal propaganda rag] published a report calling into question the legality of McCain’s presidential run. McCain was born to American citizens stationed on an American Naval base in the Panama Canal Zone. He has since served in the U.S. Navy, and, since 1983, has served in the U.S. Congress.
“Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen,” said Leahy. “I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate.”
