I would agree with those who claim McCain was brought up through the nomination pack by the same people who brought Bill Clinton and Obama up through the nomination pack. I also think that Obama wanted to piggy-back on the resolution passed to O.K. McCains eligibility but couldn’t when it referred to parentS. I also think those that pushed the resolution just might have thoght they could pull a slick move by stetching the Constitution. The father’s citizenship is a requirement by virtue of Article II Section 8 directive #9 for Congress to DEFINE offenses against the Law of Nations which was Vittel’s treatise which defined a NBC as one born of parentS who are it’s citizenS. The stretch would be to Define ‘country’ as the place where the citizen parentS were and this would have been innocuous considering the Panama Canal: but the wording precedent would have been established like many people present today that two citizen parentS anywhere in the world satisfied the Constitution as to eligibility. The only hang-up then was the parentS and this could not be stretched for Obama.
