He didn’t need to be born in any particular place - BOTH parents were American citizens. My own Certificate of Citizenship indicates that my American citizenship is DERIVATIVE, from my parents, at birth, and confirmed by oath before a judge at majority.
I want to see Obama’s certificate.
I want to see Obama’s birth certificate too. I won’t believe he’s natural born until I do. The fact that they won’t produce such a simple document is highly suspicious. There’s no reason I can think of not to release it if it is proper and in order.
Your argument about McCain’s parentage providing his natural born status is a strong one. Of course, that isn’t what McCain’s supporters have been arguing. Even on this thread, they’ve been misstating the facts of the circumstances of his birth, just like the media. [Probably mainly ignorance in both cases.]
But, if McCain is going to make the argument based on his parentage, he’s going to have to make it from a natural law perspective, one which would expose many of his policy positions over the years as hypocritical to say the least.
So where were you born? You left that out.
