McCain wasn't even born in the United States, should he even be allowed to run?

    And Obama lost his citizenship when his mother moved the family to Africa. He shouldn't be able to run either!

    It should be Hillary vs. Huckabee.

    Wocka, wocka!

    they actually moved to Indonesia. But he held a dual citizenship in the US and Kenya, but lost his Kenyan citizenship on his 21st birthday. Wocka whatever

    Here's some info I found.

    Senator John McCain's 2008 Presidential bid raised questions concerning whether he was a "natural born citizen" of the United States entitled to seek the presidency (only "natural born citizens", resident in the United States for fourteen or more years and aged at least 35, may be president, pursuant to Article II of the United States Constitution. Title 8, Section 1403 of the United States Code grants citizenship to those born in the Canal Zone with at least one parent who is a United States citizen. This differs from the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment which grants citizenship to all born in the United States, regardless of parental nationality. McCain was born in the Canal Zone to United States citizen parents.

    I'm sure the republicans rewrote that amendment just for him.

    If you are born on a US military base overseas it is considered sovereign soil.

    Exactly. This isn't even an issue. It is as dumb as the ones about Obama. Why bring these up?

    Well you did a great job of it. Reuters just called and said due to this thread Obama made up the 4 points he is currently down to McCain. Great job! :rolleyes:

    Correct, I was born on an Army Base in Germany, and always been a US citizen.
