Isn’t Ted’s situation similar to McLame’s ? (who was born in the Panama Canal zone.)
I believe so… but, then again, I suspect 2008 (and 2012, to a lesser extent) was an offering of two illegitimate candidates for the purpose of [at some later date] weakening the Natural Born Citizen clause via precedent.
It may just be my cynicism, but looking into some of the crap that was pulled it's what makes sense to me.
