“He is full of crap about McCain being ineligible. He meets the definition of Natural born as per the legal definitions of natural born. Congress has the authority to define precisely what that means and who is included.”
I have been trying to find the legal definitions of “natural born”. Do you have the link? Thanks!
It has changed over the years, McCain would have to comply with the law 72 years ago, on the other hand Obama would have to meet the requirements, that were in force, in 1961, we don't do retroactive laws, except of course when we want to dig up dead people and tax them as Clinton did.
The concept of Natural born was not meant to confine the birth to a geographical region. Check out the authority which the Founders used for legal definitions, concepts etc., Blackstone.
Black’s Law Dictionary defines “Natural Born” as “In English law, one born within the dominions; or rather, the allegiance of the King of England.” This is why children born to officers/subjects of the King (state) are Natural born no matter WHERE they are born. Hence, American citizen’s children are Natural born even if born in Panama or Kenya for that matter.
