If the criteria to be a natural born citizen is to be born in the United States irrespective of your parent’s being a U.S. Citizen, wouldn’t McCain’s status also come into question?

McCain was born to US parents on US territory...the Panama Canal Zone.

No. There are varying rules on out of country births. Both parents citizens, you are a citizen. One parent a citizen, then there are some stipulations. But regardless, I’m guessing he is a natural born citizen, but the fact that they forged a document is enough for him to be kicked to the curb.

As I understand it children of citizen U.S. military personnel born overseas are automatically considered “natural born” citizens, besides was not the Panama Canal zone U.S. territory (even though leased) at the time?

It would rank as one of my ten top wishes in life if BOTH O-scum-a and McManiac were disqualified. Maybe even top five.
