The Constitution says, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of the President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained the Age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a Resident withing the United States."

If the editors at the NYT could read, they would see he is eligible.

I think you overlooking a big factor.

You are quoting that old document called the Constitution. You should know that it has been replaced by the Living Constitution. It is a similar document but has an implied provision that allows almost any judge anywhere and at any time to decide what it should mean. Since it is in the best interest of The People and The New York Times to have McCain be ineligible to run for the Presidency then the provision you quoted can clearly be interpreted to mean that he can't.

It's actually quite simple.

“a natural born Citizen”
maybe he was born by C-section. ;)

But they believe the Constitution is a living document that means whatever they want it to mean.

Boy, you ask a awful lot of these people....
