Show me where the Supreme Court has ruled what a Natural Born Citizen is, not a citizen, I want Natural Born Citizen.....

John McCain was questioned about his citizenship because of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone, it was the Congress that ruled BECAUSE BOTH OF HIS PARENTS WERE CITIZENS that he could be declared a NBC...personally, I think they were wrong as well, while his parents were both Citizens, he was NOT born on the military base where his father was stationed but a private hospital.

Where did the term Natural Born Citizen come from? Vattel’s Law of Nations, the founders didn’t just make it up, they had a reference point for the term.

Let's try an easier question. The Constitution specifically mentions two and only two means of acquiring citizenship - natural-born and naturalized. Where is this third form of citizenship you claim exists defined?

John McCain was questioned about his citizenship because of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone, it was the Congress that ruled BECAUSE BOTH OF HIS PARENTS WERE CITIZENS that he could be declared a NBC...personally, I think they were wrong as well, while his parents were both Citizens, he was NOT born on the military base where his father was stationed but a private hospital.

So are you saying that if McCain had been elected then you would have the same doubts about his qualifications for the presidency as you have about Obama? Even though by law he is a natural-born citizen?
