“Ginsburg thinks that you can be born on foreign soil and be eligible.”

What case was that? Link please? Ginsberg mumbling does not make settled or unsettled law.......

Heck.... Ginsberg thinks you can advance a foreign law to argue your case......pretty bad when a conservative starts quoting a justice like Ginsberg. LOLOLOLOL You are sounding desperate.

“NO, they haven’t. That is one way. THAT MAY NOT THE ONLY WAY.”

NBC has never had more than one definition in US law.

What you are refering to is the courts have always been unsure of what constitutes “born citizenship.” (citizenship other than Natural Born Citizenship) There are many other circumstances that result in born citizenship.

See the 14th Amendment for one example of this. It recognized born citizenship for former slaves.

None the less, there is only one circumstance that results in “Natural Born Citizenship’ and that is “born in country to two citizen parents.”

Born citizenship is not the constitutional requirement for the Presidency.....Natural Born Citizenship is.

1790 NBC

In 1790 she could have been correct, too bad the law was replaced in 1795...

Sheesh, read the ENTIRE CASE, THE TRANSCRIPTS, and LISTEN TO THE DISCUSSION.

The Justices have differing opinions about NBC.

You should know about this case if you are so versed as you say. THERE IS CLEARLY A DISCUSSION ABOUT NBC. They even talked about Romney’s dad.

IIRC, had McCain pulled a miracle worthy of the 2004 Red Sox and beaten oBumbler, this would have been EXACTLY the case. Daddy McCain was stationed in Panama at the time John Jr was born, and I believe he was born in a local hospital, not the base hospital.

However, before walking for office (I wouldn't call what he did "Running") in '08, he went through the machinations of assuring that he was eligible.
