Please explain further... I am listening, just not understanding this last part of your statement.
CNN’s Crowley: “If I had to boil this debate down to something, I would tell you it was three words, ‘yes, yes, yes.’ That’s what Hillary Clinton said when she was asked whether she thought Barack Obama could get elected president this fall. As you may know, she has been campaigning largely trying to convince superdelegates that he’s not electable. I think tonight for her to say I think he is, takes that off the table”
She knows.

The Constitution defines the law on this question--it is the "natural born" rule. Neither the Senate nor the Congress can modify operation of this rule. A Constitutional inquiry on the question of whether an individual is "natural born" for this purpose looks at what the Constitution means when it uses this term.
It doesn't look at what the Senate or anyone else says the term means--it looks only at what the founders meant.
The Citizenship statute was enacted to address the citizenship issue; not the question of eligibility to serve as President. We have decided to permit some persons, not born in the USA to be citizens; but doing so is not a determination that they are "natural born" citizens within the meaning of the Constitutional provision for eligibility to serve as president--and we couldn't do that as a matter of law anyway unless we want to amend the Constitution.
