Where in U.S. law do you get that McCain would be anything other than a natural born citizen?
Where do you get in U. S. law that McCain is a natural born citizen?
And just because you asked your question first doesn't mean that I have to answer your question before you answer mine. I don't play that game either.

If you are not going by U.S. law OR Vattel - then by what definition is McCain anything other than a natural born citizen?
What makes you think he ever was a natural born citizen?

Where is natural born citizen defined such that McCain would not qualify?

Nice game. Your turn, Pong.

Where in U.S. law?

1401 - The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;

What makes me think McCain ever was a natural born citizen? Because he was born with natural allegiance to these United States, under the principles recognized in natural law, and thus he was a U.S. citizen at birth.

Under Vattel’s definition of natural born citizen (or more correctly an “indigenous or native”)- McCain would certainly qualify - as I have repeatedly told you.

Now under what definition of “natural born” would McCain not qualify?

Under English law - he would be considered “natural born”.

Under Vattel - he would be considered an “indigenous or native citizen” and thus natural born.

Under U.S. law he is a U.S. citizen at birth and thus natural born.

So where in U.S. law do you get that McCain would be anything other than a natural born citizen?
