“they knew both Obama and McCain did not Constitutionally qualify”
With the circumstances of Obama’s birth and subsequent living in Indonesia, I can see the problem - an agree he isn’t qualified. However, John McCain was born to two full American citizens that were on foreign soil in the service of the U.S. Navy. I see no potential “loyalty conflicts” there. Isn’t this the purpose behind the “natural born” requirement? No divided or questionably loyaltys??
Wasn’t McCain born in Panama, which was a US terrtory, correct?
He is a natural born citizen and I believe he provided paperwork. Something O has never done.
Yes. There is evidence that McCain was born in Colon,Panama and therefore at birth was a native born citizen of Panama. He is a naturalized citizen of the US, but was not a “natural born” citizen at birth. I believe that is why McCain and the RNC were silent about the questions of Obama’s past all during the campaign. Maybe McCain thought he would win and all would be fine. But it didn't work out that way after all.
Right now, I do not care who is President, but whomever it is they must meet Constitutional requirements to hold the Office of Commander In Chief! Our Constitution must be upheld!
Donofrio is defining it as a person born in the U.S. of two parents who are U.S. citizens. His definition is at odd with U.S. law - McCain is a natural born citizen on the basis of his parents being U.S. citizens who had resided in the states for some years prior to his birth. But if the Supreme Court takes up the Donofrio case and rules for the plaintiff then both McCain and Obama are disqualified.
