Born on US soil to US parents in the US military...this is ridiculous.

I think so, but this was on FR a few weeks ago. As I read, several Freepers were defending the position that McCain isn't a natural born citizen.
I'm not an immigration lawyer...I don't even play one on TV.
You beat me to it...
The NYT either isn’t smart enough to figure that out, or they’re just throwing another turd in the punchbowl.
Yeah. I sure hope SOMETHING comes up to knock McCain out of the running before the convention... but this is a silly, foolish idea to float, even for the zombie-brained LIBS.

Got to agree with you. It is more than ridiculous.
The Panama Canal zone was never US soil or territory, John McCain’s parents would have had to recorded his birth at the nearest US consulate in order for him to be considered a US citizen natural born or otherwise.
It is possible however unlikely that they did not, and because of it he would be ineligible for the Presidency, remember also that the laws of today are not retroactive, his parents would have had to follow the letter of the law as it existed in 1936 in order that he be considered a US citizen.
I also believe that no one so far has questioned weather the Admiral’s son was in deed a US Citizen, after all why would they need to, he was Admiral McCain’s son?
Besides the fact that he was born in Panama.....
It doesn’t matter if he was born on US soil, as long as both of his parents are American born citizens. Sheesh won’t these people ever get it.?
