In fact, he were not given natural citizenship then there are virtually millions of AMerican who were born on Army bases who should not be considered citizens. Obama, if he were born in Kenya, is different. It's like apples and oranges. McCain has also hidden nothing. Obama, continues to stonewall the issue. Either way, I agree with you, that this needs to be addressed in the courts soon.

As to your first sentence, no not so.

Everyone concedes that McCain is a citizen under the two parent rule. No Doubt. And I assume you know he was not born in the Zone on the base but instead in Panama in a civilian hospital. His birth certificate is posted on the main thread.

So no, there are not millions of Americans born . . . either because they too, for the most part, have US Citizen parents.

As to Obama, it's different because under the narrow precise rules about how a person born outside the U S to two parents who are married to each other gets U S Citizenship, he flunks. No one has come up with a statutory analysis that makes him a citizen if he was born in Kenya which I believe that he was.

And therefore, I also think he doesn't come close to eligibility to act as President under the Constitution either.

It's not a righteous conduct issue--it's a simple statutory and Constitutional Law question.

David,

I agree with your summary of what you think about Obama. I’m aware that McCain was born in a hospital off the naval base. Anyone who would deny him natural born citizenship is using some archaic interpretation.

Obama has the problem. I think neither the McCain or Hillary camp want to spring this, plus I would imagine that there are detectives and FBI agents behind the scenes looking into this as we speak.
