About the only thing I’ll ever give McCain credit for is that he got something passed in DC that defined him as eligible before before he ran, and that because he was born on US-controlled soil.
***********************************
Actually, McCain was born in the country of Panama; not in the Canal Zone. Pelosi is the person who signed off on him being eligible... probably because she knew he would be a very weak opponent.
FWIW, those that questioned Obama's eligibility put too much on his producing a birth certificate that said "USA". Once that was produced, the birther objections lost credibility. But now, the irony is, that's the very thing Cruz cannot produce....the thing they said Obama had to!
That's why I say Cruz's eligibility is not a settled issue.
