[null and void]

Being born on a military base is exactly the same as being born on U.S. soil.

Actually. No, it isn't.

There is no debate about that,

Actually. Yes, there is.

Last election cycle Sen. Claire McCaskill was sufficiently worried about this very point that she introduced a bill to declare McCain qualified.

Why do you suppose she went through all that unsuccessful effort to shore up a position you think is glaringly obvious?

Because it wasn't at all clear.

It still isn't.

The bill never passed as a law, only as a "sense of the senate"

All well and good.

I realize the dems will try and equate the situations, but they still aren’t equal. Even if McCain were born on Panamanian soil, both his parents were still U.S. citizens, unlike Obama’s.

Republicans were just trying to make it so the dems have nothing to bark about. There still is no problem.
