Oh ya - our guy is really the questionable one....
Now for a ruling on the Liberal Messiah.
Ok Obama, you’re next. Oh wait a minute, you’re the second coming, the messiah. You’ll be fine, even though we still haven’t seen a copy of your REAL birth certificate! Oh, and while we’re at it, how about your medical records, your transcripts from Occidental College, Columbia, Harvard Law School......
Obama's status is still a puzzle right along with just what his experience and plans are.
All this was perhaps the silliest diversion of the campaign. Per the Constitution, one need not be a ‘Native Born Citizen’ (i.e., born stateside) to become President.
Like it or not, both McCain & Bama are ‘Natural Born Citizens’ by virtue of at least one parent having been a US citizen — regardless of where in the world each was actually born.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
George Romney was born in Mexico and nobody challenged him when he ran for POTUS
Several generations of Romney’s before him had been Mexican..
Obama’s Dad was born in Africa...
Several Obamas before him were African...
Nuff said...
I didn't know this. On the other hand, nothing was actually settled because he didn't win -- unless there was a court case back then that wasn't referenced here.
The natural born comment in the Constitution has always been interpreted to mean "within the territory of the United States". Lots of discussion about what that meant and why back then, contrary to the remark about the Founders being silent.
My Grandfather, a United States Consul, thought it so important that he sent my Grandmother home to have my Mother on U.S. soil in the 20's. He knew: his job was to admit people to the United States overseas and to process those claiming citizenship by virtue of birth to U.S. citizens abroad. Believe me, there were questions then just as now. Only birth on U.S. soil under legal circumstances erases all doubt.
There are historical reasons why the Constitution was written this way. The European Monarchs played musical chairs to keep the power in their "family" and to create alliances. The current "British" royal family is in fact a gang of Germans as a few people know these days. The Founders wanted no part of foreign thugs ruling them as had happened in Oppressed Europe.
Thus the Natural Born requirement. And no, you can't do a Steve Breyer and change the meaning by re-defining it in modern terms (like the poster who claims that they should have said "native born").
We won't be ruled by foreigners and those not loyal. That is why the rule exists. And it should never, ever change, and in fact should be strengthened in this day and age of Globalist scheming to undermine the Independence of the United States.
At the time of McCain’s birth, the Canal Zone was sovereign US territory. If you committed a crime in the Canal Zone, under whose laws would you be tried? You would be tried under US law, in a US court.

Thank you sir for beating back half the argument against investigating BHO for the same thing.
Can we put this to rest null and find out who Barry Soetoro is?
Tomorrow: Federal judge rules that that messianic drug experimenting dieties are natural born citizens.

I never agreed with going after McCain on the natural born angle; but he wasn’t born in the Canal Zone. He was born in Colon.
I still want him off the ticket though.
However the judge you are ultimately looking for on this question is the Supreme Court--ought to be an appeal to the 9th Cir. Ct. App. next.
