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; [.]

You’d think McCain would play nice? NO.

It is “the war of necessity,” asserts the New York Times, to roll back the “power of Al Qaeda and the Taliban.” – Conn Hallinan

Troubles in the financial world continue to take the Fed deeper into new territory in its effort to prevent a larger credit crunch. …
