Look, I'll make this simple so that even an idiot such as yourself can understand the issue. The UCMJ does not exist separate from the Constitution, but operates with in the Constitution for the purpose of giving the Government direct control over all military personnel so that the Government can undertake the all important responsibility of National Defense.

Great. Now show me where the UCMJ says anything about citizenship. Because you said, and I quote, "...the UCMJ considers their child to be a natural born citizen regardless of where the birth takes place."

You can't. Because it doesn't.

You call ME an idiot, yet you demonstrate that you don't even have the slightest clue what the UCMJ is.

Here's a subtitle to give you just a bit of a hint:

Congressional Code of Military Criminal Law applicable to all military members worldwide.


Right. McCain's birth was covered under military CRIMINAL LAW.

*sigh*

Is a U.S. citizen who is active duty military personnel subject to the full and complete jurisdiction of the United States government...? Yes. And and given the fact that his spouse is also a U.S. citizen then their child is a citizen by birth. That is what Olson and Tribe claim. They're correct.

That is what this whole argument is about.
