The Supreme Court has followed the Law of Nations in defining natural-born citizen. They did so in Minor v. Happersett, which was quoted and affirmed in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark. Eighteen Supreme Court justices agreed on the NBC definition. In the law of nations, it says children born in the Armies of the state are considered born in the country if they are born abroad. This made McCain a natural-born citizen. The Law of Nations definition does NOT, however, make Obama a natural-born citizen and neither do the two Supreme Court cases that were cited. Obama doesn’t even meet the court’s 14th amendment definition.
Just wondering how many thousand Natural Born American citizens were born in overseas American military installation hospitals. Why would McCain's citizenship be questioned?
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution is NOT the Law of Nations.
Children born of U.S. citizens overseas are considered ctizens BUT are not naturl born citizens.
NBC is only an eligibility requirement to be President - not a type of citizenship recognized by the U.S.government.
