McCain’s case is most certainly settled law. 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.
His citizenship is undeniable. It doesn't matter if he was born in Panama or some other country. The question is whether he is a natural born citizen under the Constitution eligible to run for the Presidency.
"A child born abroad to two U.S. citizen parents acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provided that one of the parents had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the child’s birth. The child is considered to be born in wedlock if the child is the genetic issue of the married couple.
If you would read the article from start to finish, you would not be asking stupid questions and making stupid remarks.
You are trying to convince me, a person born and raised in the Canal Zone and still lives here that I am wrong. For folks who never lived here and know better than we do, you are brain dead.
