If it is amended into the Constitution that a child born to two nationals is a citizen of the parents’ nation, the anchor babies can be considered citizens of the parents’ home nation as well. This is the perfect opportunity to fix the anchor baby problem by making the baby a citizen of the country the mother came from instead of a citizen of the country where it was born. We can legitimize McCain’s presidential run at the same time we solve the anchor baby problem. Let’s get it done for the sake of finally getting something important accomplished for once.

Excellent idea! What some are missing in this disagreement is that McCain is of course an American Citizen via derived or acquired citizenship from his parents, which does not answer whether he meets the other definition of natural born citizen. The law is unlcear on that issue. Additionally was he a C section? /sarcasm.
