Not to me. His parents were American. What could be more clear than that?
US Territory
Juan was born some time ago and has been a candidate for about a decade..why does the NYT raise this issue now?
OH..Yeah,,he is now the man.
You have it right.
Our youngest daughter was born in Kenya, but is an American citizen since both parents are American (one would have been enough).
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!
I thought that if one or both parents was American, the child was also American.
Exactly. His dad was a US serviceman stationed in the Canal Zone.
Not only that, he was born on a U.S. military base, in the Panama Canal Zone, a territory ruled by the United States of America, because his father was active duty military serving his country, America.
There isn't a more "American" birthplace than that.
His dad was an admiral in us navy and they were stationed there. and at that time panama canal was us terrotory anyways they are losing thier minds
I believe his Dad, the Navy Admiral, was stationed in the Canal Zone when John was born. End of discussion.
Right, Americans born abroad to U.S. citizens are “natural-born” U.S. citizens. “Jus sanguis”.
