Lets see if I remember all this correctly:
(Assuming you don’t buy into the ‘born in Kenya’ theory)
The theory that Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen (NBC) is that his father was not a citizen, and he presumably has (or had) dual citizenship at birth. Natural Born and Born with Dual Citizenship being mutually exclusive in the opinions of those supporting this theory.
The theory that McCain was not a NBC is that he was born in a hospital in Panama. In some variations of this theory that makes McCain a dual citizen, and so like the Obama example above he’s inelligible for having dual citizenship at birth. In a second variation, it is admitted that his birth did not confer Panamanian dual citizenship, but the claim is made he is still not an NBC because he was not born in one of the 50 states. (Would someone born in DC also be inelligible?)
All arguments of this type are, in my humble opinion, destined to fail. Esoteric and obscure, little tested in law, based on ancient books - such definitions will not be used to unseat a elected POTUS by any Supreme COurt.
You are correct, sir!
For the record, in 1963 at age 2 Obama lost his British dual citizenship when Kenya became an independent nation and he lost his Kenyan dual citizenship when he did not elect to retain it at age 21. Kenyan law gives a person born with dual citizenship two years to make up their mind as to whether they want to be only Kenyan, so the official expiration date of Obama’s Kenyan citizenship was when he hit his 23rd birthday on August 4, 1984 and he did not elect to retain Kenyan citizenship.
Senator McCain was never a dual citizen.
