“He was born to American parents on foreign soil,”
Assuming he was born at Ancon Hospital, he was born on american soil, in fact.
I wonder if the Times raised this issue when the evil Sen Lowell Weicker ran for president in 1980. He was in the race about 3 seconds before he had to withdraw because he knew NO ONE wanted him as the nominee. He was born in France when his American parents were vacationing there.
