A natural born citizen is born on American soil of two American Citizens. He clearly doesn't meet this standard.

Then neither does McCain.

Hence the controversy about McCain's birth and the scrutiny that it received. McCain was born of two Americans his father being in the Military, and he immediately released his birth certificate when the issue came up. Congress saw fit to pass a resolution stating that he met the Natural Born test but as it were, this was not a law and I don't know if it would be Constitutionally sound.

With deeper scrutiny it was found that McCain was born in Panama not on in the Canal Zone making him a dual citizen. This issue never came to a head because he lost.

EXACTLY! We had two candidates who were not Constitutionally qualified to run for the office of President!
