McCain IS eligible- he was born to parents serving in the miltary out of the country

There is no way on earth that US service members’ children born out of the country are NOT natural born citizens

At the same time, I don’t think most people would vote for a Presidential candidate simply because they liked his VP. McCain tried that with Palin, and while it definitely helped his numbers,

If Sarah Palin wasn't the VP on mcpain's ticket, he'd have carried Arizona.

The VP does indeed make a difference, look at JFK and LBJ, even with all the cheating in Chicago and West Virginia, no way Texas or any southern state goes to JFK without johnson as his VP.

McCain had to be born on American soil. You could probably make that case if he was born on the base, but he was born off base.

You lack the understanding of the Supreme Court or the true nature of Minor. For example there is one very important sentence: “For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”

If you actually listen to oral arguments in the Nguyen case before SCOTUS you will see they CLEARLY don’t agree on this issue...and you will see it is NOT settled law.

Interestingly, when another case came up recently that had used the Nguyen case as a basis - NO MENTION of the topic of qualifications to run for President came up.

“Rubio was born in the US. That is all that is required.”

What, exactly, is the difference then between a “citizen” and a “natural born citizen”?

Rubio was born in the US.

What’s your point ?

Many party insiders feel that the attractions of Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) for the second spot on the ticket are irresistible.

Rubio's not eligible. That kind of anti-Constitutional thinking is a large part of why we are in this obama mess.

1) Your assertions about the meaning of “Natural Born Citizen” are gratuitous. Thus, they may be gratuitously denied. If one takes your position, there is NO DISTINCTION between an NBC and any other kind of citizen. But a basic rule of interpretation is that if distinct terms are used, then distinct meanings were intended. The Constitution uses the term NBC with regard to the qualifications for ONLY ONE federal office.

2) The very fact that Obama has published a crudely forged “birth certificate” (Six different typewriters???) is evidence that there is no genuine birth certificate—at least, not one from Hawaii. Personally, I believe Obama is not a U.S. citizen at all. There is no evidence that he was born on U.S. soil; his mother did not meet the conditions for the transmission of citizenship; his father was a foreign national.

Just the way the Left is making no issue about the allegations about Palin and Glen Rice, since to do so after Clinton would be hypocritical.

Nguyen is irrelevant.

MINOR V. HAPPERSETT (1874) IS BINDING PRECEDENT AS TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL DEFINITION OF A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

The Court in Minor did make a direct holding that Mrs. Minor was, in fact, a US citizen. The Court established her citizenship by definining the “class” of “natural-born citizens” as those born in the US to parents who were citizens. Then the Court included Virginia Minor in that class thereby deeming her to be a US citizen. And they did this by specifically avoiding the 14th Amendment and by specifically construing Article 2 Section 1.

The US Supreme Court definition of an Article 2 Section 1 natural-born citizen as stated in Minor v Happersett is strictly limited to those persons born in the United States to parents who were citizens.

When the Court held that Minor was a citizen under Article 2 Section 1 because she was born in the US of citizen parents, that definition became national law. Therefore, Minor supersedes all other sources on this point. It is a direct Constitutional interpretation and definition.

It still stands. Minor vs. Happersett has never been superseded. Never.

I asked you a question......

“what, exactly, is the difference between a “citizen” and a “natural born citizen”” and you respond with “what’s your point”??

It seems an easy enough question to answer. Please do so. Thanks.
