Good try, but no. That part of the Naturalization act dealt with those born outside of the US. You have now decided that agreeing that McCain met conditions for “natural born” when born OUTSIDE the US, now means all those conditions apply to those born inside.

Again, if you are taking the resolution as binding on conditions for natural born, it now means that only those born on a military base qualify. Logical fallacies abound.

Yes, I agree that to be a "natural born citizen" you must be born of two citizen parents and that those conditions must also apply within the United States. Exactly! We are in Agreement once again! (though I suspect it is only because you keep sticking your foot in your mouth.)

Yes, in your world they do. (Again we agree on something!) The Military base is incidental, it is the born of two citizen parents that is the salient point. Naturally you seize on the trivial in an attempt to misdirect the significant. The "Naturalization act of 1790 indicates the founders weren't concerned about the PLACE of birth, only whether it was to an American father or not.
