False cover here ... it has been settled law since the 1800’s that anyone born outside the physical boundaries of the continental U.S. in a U.S. territory, military base, or protectorate to two (2) U.S. citizens IS, in fact, a natural born citizen.

Obama doesn’t have a leg to stand on if he was not born on any type of U.S. soil.

This is smoke and mirrors, and would not stand up in court to say “McCain’s a natural born citizen - so I am too”.

The following may set a precedent establishing Obama's eligibility since we cannot prove or disprove Andrew Jackson's citizenship:

Andrew Jackson

Born: Mar. 15, 1767, in the frontier region known as the Waxhaws along the border between North and South Carolina. Although both states claim Jackson's birthplace, most modern authorities place it in South Carolina. Jackson was the first president to be born in a log cabin or west of the Appalachian Mountains.

Controversial point: Allan W. Eckert, in his book The Frontiersman, contends that it is highly probable Jackson was not born in the U.S. According to several people who knew Jackson personally, including a woman who claimed to have delivered him, he was born in 1755 aboard a ship bound for America from Ireland. The scarcity of verifiable information about the early part of his life lends credence to this story. If it is true that he was born at sea, Jackson would have had to maintain that he was born on American soil in order to be eligible to run for the presidency.
