This was the point

“And most of us agree that it would be unfair to deny presidential eligibility to patriotic citizens born to parents serving overseas in the U.S. military. Such people are likely to be among the most patriotic and worthy of Americans.

But the Constitutionally-mandated term “natural born citizen” remains subject to reinterpretation by future Supreme Courts.”

While that may be - my point was that we certainly wouldn't want to be the side to push a reinterpretation, even for the purpose of keeping McCain from being our candidate. It would be insulting to the military who would view it, rightly so, as us trying to use the conditions of his dad's service to exclude him on a technicality.
