Thank you for your post.
So many people refuse to understand that “natural born” refers to “being born on US soil”
In regards to running for President....the requirement is to be “natural born”. Since The Canal Zone was part of the US at the time...McCain qualifies for the Presidency
This judge, although correct in the overall ruling, quite obviously has little understanding of the Constitution.
And correct, the “natural born” provision was included precisely to keep non-Americans (ie royal families) from ruling the country.
And how wise our forefathers were....some of the worlds most totalitarian and power mad rulers years later were all foreigners to their country...Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler....
Does "The judge also said the plaintiff, Markham Robinson, chairman of the American Independent Party, had no standing to file the lawsuit because he is not a candidate for president." indicate that the pending lawsuit against Obama could be tabled/thrown out for lack of standing?
“Since The Canal Zone was part of the US at the time...McCain qualifies for the Presidency”
He was born less than 1 mile outside the canal zone, at colon hospital, rep. of panama, unfortunately. Coco Solo hospital wasn’t built for another 4 years.
Actually, the judge was wrong on this one too. McCain was not born in the Canal Zone. He was born in Colon. I still think McCain was natural born because his father was military; but I would have thought the judge should have had the birth location correct.
