I know that. I was responding to those that have no clue as to what they are stating. If Obama was born on U.S. soil then he is a nartural born citizen, as is McCain, as is any one born within the United States or born to U.S. citizen's overseas.

I was pretty miffed at the clown that told some mother that her daughter could not be president because she was born accross the border in Canada, even though they actually lived in the U.S and ARE U.S. citizens.

Wikipedia has an interesting discussion on this, though their facts are not verified.

It doesn’t appear to me that McCain is eligible to be president. The point is moot now in his case, since he won’t run again for that office, but it needs to be answered.
There really is no definition of “natural born” citizen in the constitution unless it can be inferred from the wording. If the Supreme Court does hear these cases, this is their only possible “out”. I just don’t think they will take that “out”.
