Having gotten more interested in the legal issues lately, I’ve been doing some nosing around. Sure, I’d heard that the Left had been up in arms about McCain “not being a natural born citizen,” and thus “ineligible” to serve as President, but I really didn’t know until recently the depth and breadth of that discussion.
Believe me, had McCain won, the Left would have been this exact same challenge to him, and be mouthing the same conspiracy theories as well.
The only difference is that most on our side will accept that the Supreme Court’s action (or non-action) as legitimate, while their side never would.
there was a senate resolution back in May that granted mccain citizenship...if you can believe it.
the sense of the senate resolution included a line inserted by obama to the effect that whereas presidents in the past were not born in the united states.
But there is no evidence that Obama was not born in Hawaii. He has a birth certificate, AND the state of Hawaii has said repeatedly its real.
Additionally, that doesnt matter because Obama is a citizen even if he was born outside the country, because his mother was a citizen. McCain was born in panama, and he is a natural born citizen.
I feel like this controversy is a waste of time.
