Excellent post, but I can’t let this slide “existing law already covers McCain and he is eligible to be President”
McCain is NOT eligible. NOT “born of the soil” citizen at birth NOT natural born. Canal Zone NOT US soil AND McCain born in Colon hospital, NOT under jurisdiction of the Canal Zone Treaty anyway.
Not to be a pest, but we must get this stuff RIGHT. Don’t site me laws & rulings, HE WASN’T BORN ON US SOIL. NOTHING can change that PERIOD.
Then Sarah Palin is next in line...[not Biden or any of the others they were all in on it.]
That's true, but it may not be the test. Born under US Jurisdiction may be the test, along with parents being US Citizens. It's likely McCain was not born in Colon, but rather on the Coco Solo naval base. His mother says that is the case, a local newspaper article published at the time says that, and a reporter who was shown his BC reports the same. Plus the reporter checked out the doctor's name, and that doctor was assigned to Coco Solo at the time of McCain's birth.
The Law of Nations, not sure which translation, says:
"The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society can not exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as a matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. THE COUNTRY OF THE FATHERS IS THEREFORE THAT OF THE CHILDREN."
So it depends on the definition of "in the country", and But then that last part, while damming Obama, gives support to McCain.
Not that McCain's eligibility or lack thereof matters at this point.
