Yes, both your daughter, Senator McCain, and even Gov. Schwarznegger (naturalized citizenship) are considered citizens under the 14th Amendment. But to be considered “natural born” a person must meet two criteria:

1. Be born within the United States or its territories;

2. Both parents must be United States citizens at the time of the birth.

This isn’t my opinion, sorry if you don’t agree. But having citizenship is different from being “natural born”.

No offense meant but I believe this statement is false.

There are only two kind of citizens, naturalized and natural born. There is no third kind of citizen. McCain never went through the naturalization process, so he is either a natural citizen or an illegal alien.

Assuming Obama was born in Hawaii he instantly became a citizen, and did not go through a naturalization process. Since he is definitely not a naturalized citizen, he is automatically a natural born citizen.

Again there is no third kind of citizen.
