Its really quite simple. When military personell have a child born abroad, the State Department issues a US birth certificate called" Certificate of Birth of American Abroad."

Its like being born on a ship with US Flag.

The law deems such persons born abroad as being naturally born in the USA.

The law deems such persons born abroad as being naturally born in the USA.

You can of course point out this law? (Hint: there is none. No statute law defines "natural born citizen". Citizen, sure, but not natural born citizen.

It's quite possible that even based on the known facts, that his father was a Subject of the British Crown at the time of his birth, that he is not a natural born US citizen, regardless of where he was born. He would be a citizen, under both the law and the 14th amendment, but possibly not a natural born citizen. There 's just no statute or (US) case law on the matter, because the only time the difference matters is in eligibility to the Office of President. There's only been one other case where it seems, well after the fact that the President was not born to US citizen parents. And in that case, Chester Arthur, his father did become naturalized well before he became President (by succession, not election, he had been VP when the President died). But he hid that fact when he ran for VP and after he became President. BHO's father, and stepfather for that matter, never were, nor never became US Citizens.

Of course. I know that, you know that, almost everyone knows that. Still some thought it was in question, so McCain addressed the issue.

Why is it the one has not, and how many know why? In the DNC, RNC, or either party? And why did they not address it.
