You said: "He was born to American citizens who were living abroad—that still qualifies him to be Potus." Wrong. You have to be born in the US to be president or vice president. Furthermore, "Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Obama, Sr. (born in Nyanza Province, Kenya, of Luo ethnicity) and Ann Dunham (born in Wichita, Kansas).[8]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

So then McCain is disqualified because he was born in the Canal Zone? I doubt it, since he’s run for President before and this hasn’t come up. Unless the canal zone was considered a U.S. Territory at the time.

Found this:

Some might define the term "natural-born citizen" as one who was born on United States soil. But the First Congress, on March 26, 1790, approved an act that declared, "The children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural-born citizens of the United States."

Yes, its the Washington Compost, but it still trumps your Wikipedia. ;-)

LOL! Title 8 of the U.S. Code, Section 1401 (C).

Barry Goldwater and George Romney were born outside the US also. Read this Wikipedia article on Natural Born Citizen. Don't fall for the lie about McCain or Obama...it is spreading like wildfire through the Pauleroid Forums.

If he was born on a U.S. military base, he’s a U.S. citizen.
