It is correct the Senate passed approval of McCain—BUT the bill was sponsored by Claire McKaskill and supported by Obamaumao, Jim Webb, Patrick Leahy, Hitlery Clinton, and Sen. Coburn(ie only ONE republican)... and WHY?
This was deflect observation that Mr. Obamaumao was NOT a natural born citizen— inasmuch as at that time he still not having produced a real birth certificate (many say he has not as of today). In a really clever BS sort of Senatorial move. Note that alongside of this “resolution” that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid— “vetted” Obamaumao for the Democratic Party— formally, but without a resolution- they IOWs.... lied cause they knew he wasn’t eligible.
Here is the link to the 110th Congress Senate Resolution:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c110:175:./temp/~c110BDxZ35::
To save time- here is the Resolution wording— note it contains verbage that “former Presidents have been born outside the US and been eligible”-— Cruz needs to merely cite this.. Period The Resolution:
“RESOLUTION
Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.
Whereas the Constitution of the United States requires that, to be eligible for the Office of the President, a person must be a `natural born Citizen’ of the United States;
Whereas the term `natural born Citizen’, as that term appears in Article II, Section 1, is not defined in the Constitution of the United States;
Whereas there is no evidence of the intention of the Framers or any Congress to limit the constitutional rights of children born to Americans serving in the military nor to prevent those children from serving as their country’s President;
Whereas such limitations would be inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the `natural born Citizen’ clause of the Constitution of the United States, as evidenced by the First Congress’s own statute defining the term `natural born Citizen’;
Whereas the well-being of all citizens of the United States is preserved and enhanced by the men and women who are assigned to serve our country outside of our national borders;
Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President; and
Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a `natural born Citizen’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.”
Wow...hey thank you for taking the time to post that information - cheers!
That Resolution was a fig leaf. It carries no legal weight.
They can declare anyone to be anything but it does not change the Constitution.
So what happens now obama becoming President has set a new idea of natural born.
