Both of McCain's parents were NATURAL born U.S. citizens. It doesn't matter if he was born on Saturn. McCain is a natural born citizen.

This stupid red herring has been squashed on millions of other threads.

I like “born on Saturn”......

I simply don’t get why nobody has the cojones to pursue this matter - except people who don’t seem to have any power to be effective. Eligibility is the biggest threat to our country that we’ve faced at least in my lifetime and nobody wants to fix it. They just ignore it as though there was nothing that could be done and there are plenty of FACTS already public that show he’s not natural born. If Tony Blair, Sarkozy or Putin tried to run for POTUS there would be an uproar...this empty suit just sailed right in. The GOP should have nailed this in 2008.

The Constitution requires that a President be “natural born,” but is silent as to birthplace, unless there be a definition of natural born that also specifies birthplace. If “natural born” refers only to parentage, Obama fails the test.

...McCain’s parents both citizens ...

Yes, why was there ever a question? My nephew was born in Finland but SIL and her hubby are US citizens, so DeNephew is a US citizen.

However, he was so big when he was born that her Finnish doctor suggested DeNephew consider dual citizenship so Finland could have someone tall on their Olympic basketball team.

The only thing stupid, in your stupid post, is your stupid opinion.

John McCain is a “citizen by statute.”

Here’s the 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 on or after February 26, 1904
 
(a) Any person born in the Canal Zone 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, is declared to be a citizen of the United States.

(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.
    
A statutory citizen (bestowed by man’s pen) can never be a “natural born” citizen (bestowed by God/nature).

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 is NOT a “natural born” citizen and is NOT eligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief.
