I did read it and it didn’t, nor could it, change the fact that a natural born citizen is one that was born here.

As defined by what?

As defined by what? As defined by Congress deliberately removing the qualification that children born abroad to US citizen parents are "natural born".

At the same time they repealed that "natural born" qualification for such children they pointed out that said children have the exact same citizen status as foreign born children of parents who later became naturalized citizens if those children are under the age of 21 at the time of the parents' naturalization. In other words, McCain was "parented in" to citizenship and the only right that he doesn't have that some other US citizens have is that he can't be President.
