I am aware of that section but there is something about McCain’s situation that makes it not applicable. I’ll try to find that reference but perhaps someone reading wouldn’t mind helping out - Beckwith, you there?
I’m here. Don’t know what your referring to, but if you’re looking up a law or statute, that only proves McCain is a “statutory” citizen, and not a “natural born” citizen.
It boggles my mind — all this discussion — the concept of a “natural born” citizen is simple and clear.
“At birth,” a “natural born” citizen has no entanglements whatsoever with a foreign government or state — born in the USA of US citizen parents.
