Here is the analysis of Tribe and Olson on McCain's eligibility to be President as a part of Senate resolution 511.

The Tribe/Olson 'Natural Born Citizen' Memo

The Constitution does not define the meaning of “natural born Citizen.” The U.S. Supreme Court gives meaning to terms that are not expressly defined in the Constitution by looking to the context in which those terms are used; to statutes enacted by the First Congress, Marsh v. Chambers, 463 U.S. 783, 790-91 (1983); and to the common law at the time of the Founding. United Suites v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 655 (1898). These sources all confirm that the phrase “natural born” includes both birth abroad to parents who were citizens, and birth within a nation’s territory and allegiance. Thus, regardless of the sovereign status of the Panama Canal Zone at the time of Senator McCain’s birth, he is a “natural born” citizen because he was born to parents who were U.S. citizens.

Indeed, the statute that the First Congress enacted on this subject not only established that such children are U.S. citizens, but also expressly referred to them as “natural born citizens.” Act of Mar. 26, 1790, ch. 3, § 1, 1 Stat. 103, 104.

Historical practice confirms that birth on soil that is under the sovereignty of the United States, but not within a State, satisfies the Natural Born Citizen Clause. For example, Vice President Charles Curtis was born in the territory of Kansas on January 25, 1860 — one year before Kansas became a State. Because the Twelfth Amendment requires that Vice Presidents possess the same qualifications as Presidents, the service of Vice President Curtis verifies that the phrase “natural born Citizen” includes birth outside of any State but within U.S. territory. Similarly, Senator Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona before its statehood, yet attained the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 1964. And Senator Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961 — not long after its admission to the Union on August 21, 1959. We find it inconceivable that Senator Obama would have been ineligible for the Presidency had he been born two years earlier.

We need to take this to SCOTUS and get a ruling. By 2050, one in five residents of this country will be foreign born. Today, one in 8 is foreign born, the highest it has been in 80 years. We have 300,000 to 400,000 anchor babies born each year. The definition of natural born citizenship is not settled law. It must be resolved sooner rather than later.

Regardless of what one thinks of Tribe and Olson, both are recognized Constitutional scholars and both have been listed at one time or another as possible SCOTUS justices. Note that they interpret the Constitution and related cases to mean that natural born citizenship includes birthright citizenship (jus solis) and by blood, (jus sanguinis.) -------------------------------------------------------- That is simply their opinion... "Natural born Citizenship is specified and defined in the Constitution: 1. Article II, Section 1:5 says that only a „natural born Citizen‟shall beeligible to the Office of President; 2. Article I, Section 8 says that Congress (under the authority granted by thePeople) shall have the power to… define and punish… Offenses against theLaw of Nations; 3. The Law of Nations says that: a. „The natives, or natural born citizens, are those born in the country(jus soli), of parents who are citizens’ ; b. „As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than bythe children of the citizens, those children naturally follow thecondition of their fathers(jus sanguinis),and succeed to all their rights’ ; c. ‘The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children’ ; d. „To be of the country,it is necessary that a person be born of afather who is a citizen;for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it willbe only the place of his birth, and not his country.‟ This requirement can only be changed by a Constitutional Amendment, which has yet tooccur. The 14th Amendment does not mention „natural born Citizen‟, and is thereforeunrelated to and has no bearing on the Constitutional requirement for the Office of thePresident. Additionally 4 Supreme Court cases have re-inforced the issue that an NBC is born of parenst who themselves are citizens. http://www.scribd.com/doc/55105383/Executive-Summary-Re-NBC-Defined-in-Constitution-Plus-4-SCOTUS-Cases
