No, he wasn’t. There was no maternity ward on base. To be honest, McCain wasn’t anymore eligible than Barry since he wasn’t born on US soil. He was born outside the base. Ralph Nader wasn’t a NBC, either. We should have had Bob Barr as POTUS if we had followed the law.
In the Senate Resolution 511 to vet McCain, he and Hillary both were part of the 6 member committee that invited in Homeland Security Chertoff where they all agreed and signed their names declaring NBC was defined as born on US soil to two US citizen parents.
S.Res.511 asserted that is was appropriate to eliminate the "born on US soil" requirement for persons born on US military bases abroad.
The case I cited stands for the proposition that US military bases overseas are not US soil, so the distinction of being born on vs., being born off the base is, according to that case, immaterial.
But, Congress doesn't abide by the constitution in myriad ways, generally supported by a rogue SCOTUS that exists to facilitate unconstitutional incursions by its brethren branches of the federal government. Mangling the NBC clause to suit the moment is par for the course.
Finally, I wan't disagreeing with you in principle, just correcting an immaterial point.
That’s who I voted for, the only eligible candidate on my ballot.
How so? If his parents had become citizens before he was born, nobody would seriously contest his natural born citizenship, would they? Does anybody know when they were naturalized? FWIW: Nader's 2004 running mate Peter Camejo didn't pass the birther's criterion for NBC status.
