Really! My father was American; my mother Canadian when I was born in a military hospital in Newfoundland. I am an American citizen as much as any natural born citizen. This is such a bunch of bunk where McCain is concerned. He was born to American parents on foreign soil, whose father was in service to this nation—he’s American! Period!

Actually, could you not have chosen to be a Canadian citizen when you became an adult?

Did you not choose to become an American? Which then would make you more of an American then many people born here, since they had no choice.

PS: Congratulations on your choice.

The NYT propaganda machine is trying to push what they think are conservative buttons. They think that they are driving conservatives away from McCain. Thus they accuse him of marital infidelity, something that no Dem would care about, but Republicans would. They accuse him of being a foreigner, something no Dem would care about, but Republicans would.

“He was born to American parents on foreign soil,”

Assuming he was born at Ancon Hospital, he was born on american soil, in fact.

Clause 5: 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 President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Was he properly a citizen at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution?
