McCain can be fought on so many legitimate levels but calling him on being born outside the US is silly.
McCain was the son of a military man born on a US naval base. He is a US citizen.
I myself an an Air Force brat born in Spain on a military base. I am a US citizen from day one. To say otherwise is very dishonest.

I was born on an Army base in Germany. Both parents were from Michigan. When I turned 18 I had two options, join the military for US Citizenship or sign a form stating I was going to be an American. You have the option when born abroad to have duel-citizenship so I could have declared I was both American and German.

Good point, and you would probably make a better President than McCain.

My brother was born on an Army base in Stuttgart, Germany. He had to do something that made him a naturalized citizen because he wasn't born on U.S. soil. I don't remember exactly what as it was some time ago.

Children born to American parents, no matter in which country, are American citizens and not citizens of the country of birth. However, if they are born overseas they can not run for president.
