Remind me why you think McCain wasn’t eligible for the Presidency?

John Sidney McCain III was born at the Colon Hospital, located at Avenida Melendez and 2nd Street, Manzanillo Island, City of Colon, Republic of Panama. The time of birth on the birth certificate issued by Panama Railroad Company (that owned the Colon Hospital) was 5:25 PM and the day and date of birth was Saturday, August 29, 1936. His citizenship status was, from birth, also “governed” by Panamanian law. By Panamanian law, he acquired, at birth, the option of becoming a Panamanian citizen.

John McCain’s father, John S. McCain Jr., was a US Naval officer serving in the Panama Canal Zone. His mother is Roberta Wright. Both were American citizens.

McCain gets his citizenship via the Immigration and Nationality Act — “by statute.”

Sec. 301. [8 U.S.C. 1401] The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:

(c) a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents both of whom are citizens of the United States and one of whom has had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions, prior to the birth of such person;

Sec. 303. [8 U.S.C. 1403] Persons born in the Canal Zone or the Republic of Panama on or after February 26, 1904

(b) Any person born in the Republic of Panama on or after February 26, 1904, and whether before or after the effective date of this Act, whose father or mother or both at the time of the birth of such person was or is a citizen of the United States employed by the Government of the United States or by the Panama Railroad Company, or its successor in title, is declared to be a citizen of the United States.

This case fails the test of jus soli — NOT born in the USA
This case meets the test of jus sanguinis — parents are US citizens
This person has “dual citizenship” via his birthplace, is NOT a “natural born” citizen, and is NOT eligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

The base hospital McCain claimed for his birthplace wasn’t even authorized to be built until 1941. McCain was born in 1936. There are various sites when a search is made showing he was born in Colon Hospital in the Republic of Panama, not on a U.S. military base. Back to SR 511: if there were no question it would have not been necessary, but Obama used it to try and make his own NBC legitimate. It was a trick and both parties were at fault. Repubs thought McCain would defeat Hillary because of her known liberalism. With Obama’s deception (failure to tell what he was all about), Dems had ACORN, SEIU and the black vote, which I believe is how they won Congress in 2006 as well. I also believe the secret session of Mar. 12, 2008 about the economy to fail in Sept., gov’t finances to fail in Feb. ‘09, civil war, etc. caused many Congressmen to believe a catastrophe was imminent and globalism, and world government was the way to go. (Ben Pershing, Washington Post, 3/13/08 “House holds rare closed session” and also Gold and Silver Exchange, March 13/2008, “Closed door session of Congress predicted the present economic crisis.”
