Dear Mr. Ballantyne:

Thank you for contacting me about the citizenship requirements for the office of President of the United States. I appreciate knowing your views on this issue.

As you may know, Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as President of the United States: “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this very important matter. Please feel free to contact me on this or any other issue of concern.

Sincerely, John McCain United States Senator

This is nothing but a major deflection on Senator McCain's behalf. He dodges the question if Obama is eligible. He doesn't address it at all. Instead he just quotes Article 2 Section 1, the presidential clause, and leaves it at that.

Senator McCain realizes that there is nothing that he could say that would convince a birther and therefore wisely chooses not to get involved.

More or less the same form letter I got from my senator(R) back in 2008.

Fwiw, I'm not all that sure McCain is/was eligible either, nor are a couple of the currently favored republican up and comings.

Weird how the ineligible are the only candidates that get run by the PTB these days...what's up with that? Or, better question, what's next?

Since last year, the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm hollow point rounds. DHS also purchased 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAP).

They have to let prisoners go due to budget sequestration that hasn't hit yet, but go on a spending spree for anti-civilian weapons and ammo???

And vice versa. Nothing will convince those who refuse to even look.

“Senator McCain realizes that there is nothing that he could say that would convince a birther and therefore wisely chooses not to get involved”

Senator McCain realizes that Barack Obama, Barry Soetoro, Steve Dunham is not eligible to be President due to lack of eligibility docs and chooses not to get involved.

nothing to fear, except

1.6 billion Geneva-Convention-banned hollow point rounds,
3000 armored personel carriers,
30,000 easily armable drones...

Citizens should flood Congress with simple, even terse or blunt questions to our elected officials asking them to:

“Please explain the Constitutional meaning of the phrase, ‘natural born citizen’ and you arrive at that definition.”

Just FYI, before his capture by the NVA catapulted this idiot son of a great admiral, and nephew of another, to world-wide name recognition, he was known as an obnoxious drunkard, the most inept military pilot then flying, a disciplinary problem, often AWOL, generally late, and just an all-around jackass, who was kept in the Navy only by the grace of the excellent reputations amassed by his relatives and the pressure they applied to get him in and out of Annapolis, through flight school, and through many disciplinary scrapes.

His ppoor flying was legendary. This is a guy who frequently got lost ... over the Chesapeake. When he was captured, maintenance officers and his CO breathed a sigh of relief.

PS, after his release from captivity, his behavior became much worse! President? Senator? If it hadn't been for the NVA, he would have been soldering mess kits at Twenty-Nine Palms for the rest of his life ... that is if the Navy didn't finally get around to s-canning him.

He’s not one either. Although not as egregiously. But he is a first class a-hole.

He’s stopped answering my emails asking him what the definition of a Natural born citizen is. I’ve received this same non-answer for years. And if I call his office I get the same non-answer. He’s useless.
