Um, Juan was born in Panama because his father, an American citizen, was stationed there. His mother was also an American citizen. Nothing even close to Zero’s situation.

Very true, he was born in Panama because his father was a military officer stationed in the Canal Zone. He is still an american citizen by birth.
That said, he is a POS, self-serving liberal. His service in VN as such is no more than others who served there. He was also not the only POW nor was he particularly more courageous than the other POWs. All of that is a point in time which does not give him a free pass for what spews from his mouth or the tratorous actions he’s taken since.
“Um, Juan was born in Panama because his father, an American citizen, was stationed there. His mother was also an American citizen.”
Wrong as usual (about Juan). He is a dual citizen having been born in Colon Hospital, Colon, Republic of Panama.
Duals cannot become president.
I live here in Panama, so I know what is going on.
By the way, I am also dual.
It is generally said that McCain was born in the Canal Zone, where his father was on military duty.
But he wasn’t. He was born in a Panamanian hospital in Panama.
Nothing wrong with that. He is still a U.S. citizen, and there was nothing dishonorable about his birth. BUT. It is doubtful whether he is a Natural Born Citizen under the meaning of the term understood by the Founding Fathers. Again, nothing wrong with that. He qualified for just about everything—EXCEPT to run as President. Well, not every American can be President, anyway. There are plenty of other useful things to do.
It was good of his mother to stick by his father in Panama. But if they were really concerned about their son becoming a future President, then she should have had him at a hospital in the Canal Zone, or flown back to the U.S. for a month or two.
It seems extremely likely that McCain was chosen deliberately, to set a precedent. Then congress passed a resolution saying, “OK, McCain qualifies.” Only problem is, he didn’t, and Congress has no license to violate the constitution. Why did they do that, with numerous Democrats jumping eagerly on board? Could it be that they had someone named Obama in the backs of their minds? Could it be that Soros was giving the orders?
They didn’t want to put Hussein up for a vote, because evidently he is unable to produce a real birth certificate. So they put McCain up, instead.
