“““Obama isn’t natural born if his dad wasn’t a citizen?””

Not correct. If a person was born within the U.S. or one of it’s territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, Panama Canal Zone from 1903 till 1979 (John McCain)that person is a natural born citizen regardless of their parents legal status.

Well, that was not my quote, but many will disagree with you.
Yes, if born in the US, then you are a citizen, but many question if you are a “natural born” citizen, if the parents are not citizens.
It is a matter of interpretation, and only a court could settle it.
It has obviously not been tested in a court.

As for McStain, the Obots tried to argue that he was not born inside the Canal Zone, but in the city that was excluded from CZ control.
That argument, however, is now moot.

Hmmm, I must be doing something wrong as I did a reply to whoever made the post, or at least I thought I did. Let’s see what happens with this reply to your reply :)

Well, it will indeed be interesting if it does have to be test in court, and you know it will go all the way to the Supremes. Concerning McCain, Wikipedia states he was born at Coco Solo Naval Air Station, Panama Canal Zone. Also, the senate confirmed that he was eligible to run for POTUS, but some may have made an attempt to declare him ineligible, don’t know. Had they done so, perhaps we (GOP) would have nominated someone who could have beat Zero.....

I got one for you, or anyone else who may be reading this; What if sailor (female obviously) who is a U.S. citizen gives birth to a child while serving on a U.S. carrier while the carrier is out in international water? It's my understanding that our U.S. military ships are sovereign U.S. territory. So, is this child eligible to become president of the United States? Interested in opinions....

There is no doubt about McCain's eligibility. His parents were American, so he's natural born, even if born on Mars.
