Chin makes compelling and well-researched points in Why Senator John Mccain Cannot Be President -- Eleven Months and a Hundred Yards Short of Citizenship -- by Gabriel J. Chin (FINAL):
Because the Canal Zone was a “no man’s land,” (14) in 1937 Congress passed a statute granting citizenship to “any person born in the Canal Zone on or after February 26, 1904” who had at least one U.S. citizen parent. (15) This Act made Senator McCain a United States citizen before his first birthday. But again, to be a natural born citizen, one must be a citizen at birth. Since Senator McCain became a citizen in his eleventh month of life, he does not satisfy this criterion, is not a natural born citizen, and thus is not “eligible to the Office of President.”
(14) 81 CONG. REC. 7769 (1937) (Remarks of Rep. Sparkman).
(15) Act of Aug. 4, 1937, § 1, 50 Stat. 558, ch. 563, codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1403(a).
“Because the Canal Zone was a “no man’s land,” (14) in 1937 Congress passed a statute granting citizenship to “any person born in the Canal Zone on or after February 26, 1904” who had at least one U.S. citizen parent. (15) This Act made Senator McCain a United States citizen before his first birthday. “
You are not listening.
McCain was not born in the Canal Zone. He was born in Colon, Republic of Panama.
The rest of us who were born in the Canal Zone of American parents knew from the beginning none of us could become president of the U.S. because of where we were born. That was a given.
This would have also included slippery McCain had he been born in the Canal Zone which he wasn’t. Again, for the millionth time, he was born in Colon, Republic of Panama.
Do you want me to draw you a picture?
And don’t argue with someone who has lived here most of her life. You know nothing about life here concerning Americans born in the Canal Zone and those who weren’t...like McCain.
