Natural Born Citizen — The Law

________________________________________________________

I would be more interested in seeing some legal cites. Based on part of this, John McCain was not a ‘natural born citizen’ since he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, NOT the ‘US Mainland’ as is mentioned several places in the link.

Also, note the quote from the part hilighted in yellow from the First Congress stating that the children of citizens born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the US are natural born citizens.

I pretty sure if you are born to two American citizens on the plane flying between Europe and the US, or on board a ship outside US waters, you are natural born.
