Gotchya.
BTW, read where GOP is being sued re McCain’s “citizenship elegibility.” This may open some doors.

In addition to that, every state McCain won a primay in has a court complaint on file.
Copy here for review:

"The lawsuit was brought by Markham Robinson of Vacaville, Calif., chairman-elect of the American Independent Party. The AIP has nominated author ALAN KEYES Alan Keyes for president."
Does anyone else sense an Alan Keyes payback unfolding soon?
(for those of you who have forgotten, Keyes was creeamed and humiliated by Obama in the 2004 Illinois Senate race)
Actually you are right. The coding has changed. I just checked my son’s number at the selective service site.
His number is 83-xxyyzzz-1
Evidently the coding I discovered is only for numbers issued according to an older system.
Apologies to all for the misdirection.

Read the complaint from New Hampshire in the post after yours.
He basically has the argument--if a citizen is not born within the geographical confines of the US, he is subject to the sovereignty of some other country by reason of his birth. What the country dictates or might not have dictated is not the issue--what counts is what it could do. That is the reason citizenship at birth under the citizenship statutes is insufficient.
Subject to the issue of where in Panama (which was resolved here by Gatun's posts)he was born, I have always viewed McCain's situation as the clear legal issue. And if it gets to the Supreme Court, I would expect the Court to hold he is not eligible.
“Article II of the U.S. Constitution disqualifies McCain from assuming office because he was born in the Commonwealth of Panama in 1936, while his father was stationed at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone, the lawsuit contends.”
Nothing is going to happen until these losers learn to read and do their homework:
1. Panama is not the “Commonwealth of Panama.” It is the Republic of Panama.
2. There was never such a thing as “Coco Solo Naval Air Station.” It was Coco Solo Naval Station.
It appears they are getting their “facts” out of Wikipedia.
What a bunch of lazy, fried brains.
By the way, Panamanians are thrilled that McCain, a Panamanian by birth having been born in Colón, Republic of Panama, may be the first Panamanian president of the United States. Every time the subject is brought forth, they can’t stop laughing.
