From the article:
Three years after that note was written, Congress affirmed in 1790 that a person born abroad whose parents are both citizens of the U.S. is, in fact, a U.S. citizen.
I didn’t know that *both* parents had to be citizens.

(My respect and admiration for Cmdr. McCain are inversely proportion to my opinion of Sen. McCain.)

If born abroad, both parents need to be citizens. If born in the USA, that isn’t true.

"I didn’t know that *both* parents had to be citizens."
This term comes from Vattell's "Law of Nations". In that book, Vattell says that citizenship is passed through the father.

Which would be really bad for Obama. That would mean he's a British citizen. The people he keeps dissing. However, I think that statute at the time of his birth said that if he's born in this country to a mother under 18 (or maybe it's 16 I can't remember what I read) he is a citizen. That's why it's so important to find out if he was born in this country.
