“Every child born to citizens on military deployment are natural born citizens.”
FALSE!
McCain was a citizen. That doesn’t make him a natural born citizen. Read my tagline.
Panama was an unincorporated territory of the United States. Anyone born there of U.S. citizens was a U.S. citizen as well, per the U.S. Congress, but the Constitution does not always follow the flag and that territory was Panamanian soil. Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory which is not a U.S. state of the Union, is similar: born U.S. citizens but not natural born citizens.
MINOR v. HAPPERSETT REVISITED.
…the only time the US Supreme Court ever did define the class of persons who were POTUS eligible under Article 2 Section 1 was in Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), wherein it was held:
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.” Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 168.
McCain had accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from George Soros, and hid the money. You shouldn’t make excuses for him as he doesn’t deserve any.
You are ignoring the born to a parent on military active duty status.
I’m not going to argue with you, but they are “natural born citizens”. The location of Panama is irrelevant. He could have been born anywhere the Navy had a base hospital.
