His principle would be that McCain would be an indigenous native citizen - and thus natural born - because of his soldier father serving overseas.
You just close your eyes completely to 215, don't you.

Once again...What was the law when McCain was born?

I've even given you the link to find out at @reply 343.

Here it is again for your convenience...@Immigration Act of 1924

Be sure to read Sec. 4. and Sec. 4. (c) carefully.

You just closed your mind completely to 217 didn't you - because 217 would make McCain eligible - according to Vattel.

Vattel 217 shows how McCain would be a native or indigenous citizen under the criteria established in 215.

American law when McCain was born was that he was a natural born citizen not a naturalized citizen. American law says over and over again “Born or naturalized as a citizen” - one is either one or the other.

Under the English concept of natural law - McCain would be “natural born” because of his citizen father.

Under the American concept of natural law - McCain would be “natural born” because of his citizen parents.

Under Vattel’s concept of natural law - McCain would be a native indigenous “natural born” citizen because his father's service means he could not be considered as having been born outside the nation.

So under whose concept of natural law would McCain be ineligible and where and when was it written?
