McCain was different that either Cruz or Obama. He was born to two US citizen parents in the US controlled territory of the Panama Canal Zone. (I don't know if the Zone was counted the same as Guam or Puerto Rico would be, or Arizona Territory for Goldwater was).

What we really need now is a statutory definition of "natural born citizen". Does the person have to be born in a state? A US territory? How many citizen parents are needed? Is "natural born" a third class of citizen separate from naturalized and at birth, or is it just another wording for citizen at birth? What about people with multiple citizenships? I've heard lots of arguments both ways but no one as shown me a line in either the United States code or a definitive definition from English common law at the time of the Revolution.

Arnold is not eligible

Yes he is! Arnold was born in Hawaii, and as a child moved to Austria. Once Arnold figures out how to work a printer he'll be happy to show you the proof.

John McCain didn’t have a Cuban father.
