The circumstances of McCain's birth unqusetionably make him an American citizen.
They are not sufficient to certainly make him a natural born citizen for the purposes of becoming president.
By virtue of being born on foreign soil he has the potential of divided loyalties or conflicting affinities.
Suppose what's happening in Honduras right now was happening in Panama? If McCain was the president, no action he could take or avoid would be regarded as neutral, would it?
Exactly the situation the Founding Fathers specifically tried to render impossible by requiring that that one office be held by someone who is first, foremost, and ONLY an American to the very core of his being.
You're not facing reality. They fully control the Congress.
It is not OK at all with me, but short of insurrection nothing will be done. If a Federal Judge rules against Obama in any way, the matter would have to go to Congress to determine what to do and there the effort would fizzle out and come to naught.
What grand scheme do you see unfolding?
How about "THE TIPPING POINT?"
I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion...
My brother was born in England to two US citizen parents, he is a natural born American and can be President.
My brother-in-law was born on Okinawa to two US citizen parents, he is natural born and can be President.
Any kid in your class who was born an American citizen is natural born and eligible to be President.
Barry Goldwater was born in the Territory of Arizona, an incorporated US Territory, he was also born to two US citizen parents. Each of those conditions separately made him a natural born citizen and eligible to be President.
The only American citizens who cannot be President are those who were not born American citizens but who acquired citizenship by being naturalized.
If the people lead, the leaders will follow.
Perhaps some of the 535 sleep fitfully knowing just how many guns and how much ammo Americans have purchased since the election.
Perhaps some of the 535 have hopes of getting re-elected.
Perhaps some of the 535 actually do believe in the Rule of Law and the Constitution, hey, it could happen!
Exactly which Democrat controlled Congress do you see voting to kick Machiavelli's minion to the curb? It is not going to happen. They have been lining up to do this for generations while we all sat in blissful ignorance. If you have a valid plan I'm willing to listen, but nothing I've heard so far comes close.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but:
You are simply wrong.
Its not up to them, its a SCOTUS issue now.
Ah, jeez, nully....you just made me swallow a cherry pit!
Did you mean ‘your’ or ‘you’re’?
BTW, GREAT aticle. BO is backed into a corner, isn’t he?
This is horrifying. I can not beleive our elite are this corrupt and stinking to have let this happen to the Nation.
Big changes are in order and they ALL have to go and they can take their globalization racket with them.
My brother was born on Okinawa to two US citizen parents- we were told at his birth that he COULD NOT be President....so stipulated by the Air Force in 1961.
It's a much better joke when spoken...
The Rinos and Democrats will have a hard time rail roading through their socialist agenda while they drop everything and have to deal with the mess they made in the oval office.
These people all have to go. They betrayed the constitution!
What I was taught in high school was that a natural-born citizen was born to two U.S. citizen parents, on U.S. soil. Period.
Why did John McCain run for President in 2000 and in 2008 if this is the case?
Was McCain's NBC status questioned or challenged by any of the candidates in the 2000 primary elections?
Well, we know Biden is legal...or PIAPS....and for that matter....W was legal....
That still does not mean Obama can be removed because some major will not obey his authority. This is all stuff and nonsense.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!” ~Samuel Adams
Yes, there was a question about McCain's eligibility. That is the reason that the Senate attempted to pass a resolution that OK'd his citizenship.
Obama attempted to hang his hat along with it.
