So he's ruling McCain out too?

>>> So he's ruling McCain out too?

As much as I respect McCain for his duty to his country, I'd have to say he's is was always OUT (just like BHO), based upon the fact he was not born on American soil. Panama was a land-lease, and he was born outside of the Canal Zone anyway.

He's an American citizen, just not a NBC:

When both parents are U.S. citizens, and one is active duty personnel, and the spouse is a military dependent, then the UCMJ considers their child to be a natural born citizen regardless of where the birth takes place. So, McCain has some kind of leg to stand on.
