Different with John McCain who was born to two American parents at a US Navy base in Panama. Nobody questioned his American citizenship or his eligibility to be President, i.e., a “natural born” American citizen.
They certainly did question it....and legally. He was eventually declared eligible.
Nobody questioned his American citizenship, but lots of folks knew he wasn’t eligible to run for President.
George Romney was even worse. I’m not sure he was even a US citizen.
Actually, the question was raised, but McCain immediately released all records, unlike Obama, who paid millions of dollars to keep his records sealed and secret.
I don't know what the truth is, but all the facts concerning this matter should be made public. The fact that Democrat operatives continue to keep these records concealed, as though there were something to hide, continues to raise suspicions.
Actually, No Name’s status was cleared via a sham Senate Resolution.

Neither Republican nor Dem candidate was eligible. The Dems threatened to derail No Name.
Hillary and 0bama supported the resolution, implicitly giving 0bama cover and a agreed pass.
I was one of the named plaintiffs in an eligibility-related lawsuit filed before the 2008 election. You are wrong when you say that no one questioned McCain’s eligibility. You are also wrong when you say that no one questioned McCain’s citizenship. And as best I recall, you are also wrong when you say he was born on a US base.
McCain was born in the Republic of Panama, not on a US base located there. U.S. law did allow for some folks born in Panama to be citizens at birth, but one of the criteria necessary for that was that the parents had to be lawfully married. McCain himself has written that his parents were married in a famous Mexican bar. Unfortunately, Mexico at that time did not recognize marriages performed in any bar as lawful. As unfair as it may be, McCain was not a citizen of the U.S. at birth, and he was never subsequently naturalized. Can a person be a natural born citizen without being a citizen? No. Some people point to McCain campaign’s failure to press the question of Obama’s eligibility as evidence that of course Obama was eligible. I think they’re drawing the wrong conclusion. McCain would not have wanted eligibility to be an issue because the evidence was more clear that he was ineligible than the evidence was for Obama.
