My Civics class taught us that the Constitution meant that to be a natural-born citizen meant that you had to be born on US soil and that included military installations outside the US if both (?) parents were US citizens.

My son was born at a civilian hospital in Germany. We were reassured that he was a natural born citizen. His birth certificate says, “US Citizen Born Abroad”.
I find it hard to believe that the thousands of military brats born to patriotic Americans on foreign soil would not be considered US Citizens in every sense of the word.
Now I *was* told that, at one time, my son *would’ve* been considered a “Dual Citizen” even though he was born to two American parents. The law was amended (I think it was in the 80’s) so that military brats could be considered legit in every sense of the word.
The problem with McCain was that he was born at a civilian hospital in Panama before that law went into effect.
I do believe that we’d have a big problem even if McCain won. I honestly don’t think he was Constitutionally qualified.
