Aren't people born to US citizens automatically US citizens even if born overseas? If so, someone born overseas to a US citizen is a "natural born citizen". Typical of Newsmax they ignore the part that also says that a president must also have been a resident of the US for at least 14 years as well as being a "natural born citizen".

I'm no fan of newsmax, but the residency requirement isn't a problem for McCain, so why would it need to be mentioned.
