Since his father was in service to his country and deployed abroad in that service, I don't care if he was born in a taxi in downtown Moscow, he is a natural born citizen and eligible for any office in the country.
That is my opinion also. I have long said that where an American Soldier stands, there is America Also. It is INSANE to suggest that those who are in our service in foreign lands are not entitled to every right and privileged which this nation can bestow.
Not that it matters, but John McCain was born a "natural citizen" in my opinion.
It does matter very much.

Perhaps. The founding Fathers did have to be a bit crazy to rebel against King George.
As a Marine Corps Brat, I resented the fact that my classmates born abroad could never be president. I understand the wisdom of that now.
The difference is simply natural born vs. native born. A person can be either and not the other. Natural born is of two citizen parents, native born is on US soil. Funny how the OBOTS throw these around like they are interchangeable....they are not!
