Resolution 511 is just that, a resolution. It is not law.

You are right. It isn't law -- but it is a unanimous sense of the Senate, a determination, a decision on its part that in its learned judgment, based upon the analysis of the facts at hand, whereas John McCain had parents who were both American citizens, he could be considered a "natural born citizen" and thus qualified to serve as POTUS.

So then just how in the light of this Resolution 511 could these enlightened Senators in good conscience even contemplate the acceptance of any electoral votes for Obama who they all know has only one American citizen parent and is thus by their own resolute determination not a "natural born citizen" and thus not qualified to sit in the Oval Office.

A Resolution is still a Resolution.

Uncle Chip, I understand your point and I agree. My point was as it relates to SCOTUS and their potential decision based on supposed interpretation of the law, that I’m not sure if it has any bearing.

Are you suggesting that it will impact the Donofrio case in any way, given McCain is named as well?
