Sheese My nephew was born in germany when his father who was in the army at that time was stationed there *L* he is a us citizen and has made army his career. Mccains Dad was an admiral in us navy *L* his family goes all the way back to revolutionary war, You really think the rights of our military ‘s children should be taken away ?

I agree with you. That would mean every child not born in the 48 Contiguous States or Alaska or Hawaii, is now not considered a natural born citizen. So, children of military members born overseas are not natural born citizens ... yet Mexican children born in the US would be (having dual citizenship).

I think not. The courts would throw it out, even a Clinton appointee. That would throw into doubt thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of children and adults now residing in the states or elsewhere, not just McCain. That would be a political death-keel to the Dems.

I’m not trying to take away anyone’s right. I have a feeling this issue will resurface if the Democrats lose. The final decision could be in the Supreme Court.

It would make no sense to argue that a person who was born to two American citizens, served in the U.S. Military, fought in a War for America, was a P.O.W. and tortured and has served as a United States Senator has less of a right to run for the Presidency than someone who was born inside the United States to illegal immigrants and never served their country.
