An interesting question. I didnt ralize it before but if you check the location of mccains birth records. He was born in the canal zone owned by the US, not the US itself. This brings to mind the question of weather they will let him continue to run for president. It will most likely have no effect, but what do you all think. Keep in mind that the constitution says you must be a natural born citizen to run for president meaning that you must be born in the US, Not in its teritorys.

Sorry. I'm experiencing a serious lack of concern in this regard.

I'm surprised no one has thought of that the last few times he tried to run.

This isn't a big secret. Everyone knows McCain was born in the Canal.
And you're inaccurate about a person "needing" to be born "in the United States". If someone is born in Puerto Rico, he (or she) can be President. The exceptions for this are the territorial provinces. US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, etc. At the time of McCain's birth, the Canal Zone was as much a part of America as Puerto Rico is now. |

But puerto rico is not a state and neither is or was the canal zone. |

His father was an Admiral. He is an American!

If a child is born to parents overseas while in the military he may be granted citizenship in that nation, depending upon their laws (some do, some dont), but that child is granted the same rights as he would be born in the States! He is as American as me!

But puerto rico is not a state and neither is or was the canal zone. Commonwealth territories have limited representation in Congress, and awarded full binding of US Federal law. The Canal Zone was (at the time of McCain's birth) and Puerto Rico is now, a Commonwealth. Alaska and Hawaii before 1949, same deal. |

It was a ridiculous thing, but some committee in Congress or the Congress itself came out with a judgement that he was a natural born citizen and viable candidate for the presidency. I forget the specifics, but I remember it being reported.

Only native-born U.S. citizens (or those born abroad, but only to parents who were both citizens of the U.S.) may be president of the United States,

Ha, this explains why McCain fought so hard to present Amnesty, McCain's an Illegal immigrant!
I've heard this too, but nothing ever comes of it, so I doubt that anything will now. |
