You are probably correct. But the issue does contain legitimate weight. So first that part of the Constitution would have to be repealed, and then we can have Arnie for Prezinator!

Read the post, McCain does not receive US citizenship by merely being born on a US Military base.

Note Clause A. That fact that it mentions citizens born within the United States as natural born citizens shows that the following clauses also define natural born citizen.
Now note Clause C. Senator McCain was born to two U.S. citizens, and they had a permanent residence either in the U.S. or the military base they were stationed in (outlying possession).
Therefore, Senator McCain is a natural born citizen and is eligible for the Presidency of the United States.
I really hope I cleared that all up.[/b]
That fact that he's going to court doesn't mean anything about his natural citizenship. It just means he needs the courts to clear up the law to say whether or not he was indeed a natural born citizen. Also, a naturalized citizen at birth is the exact same thing as a natural born citizen. It's what the name implies. All people born in the U.S. are naturalized citizens at birth and are therefore natural born citizens, and I'm sure that the federal courts will agree with me on this issue.DaGip wrote:Hologram wrote:Alright Gip, pay very close attention.

McCain is a citizen of the United States, I do not disagree with you, but the question is,"Is John McCain a natural-born citizen?" Off the cuff, it has been said that he is, but it has never been seen in court. And if you have to go to court over your own citizenship, that means that you are not a natural-born citizen but a naturalized citizen of the United States at birth. They are two different things. One is undisputed citizenship without further issue by right of naturally being born on American soil, and the other confers or grants citizenship barring certain criteria is met, in which in such cases the individual is decalred a naturalized citizen at birth.
Just by McCain having to go to court over this issue would be enough to prove that he is not a Natural Born Citizen, as a Natural Born Citizen does not have to go to court over such things!
I don't know why this doesn't make sense to you?
If it doesn't go to court, then there is no problem, but if it does, it is bad for McCain, because that is all that is really needed to show that he is indeed not a natural-born citizen.

Natural born citizens are citizens that are born within the 50 states and need NO special laws or guidelines to be or become a citizen of the United States. You are either a Natural Born Citizen or you are a Naturalized Citizen under United States law.
That means Ron Paul can legally become president because his existence needs NO specialized laws to citizenship, whereas, Mr. MadDog McCain is a citizen under such guidelines that allow him to be a NATURLIZED CITIZEN. Natural Born Citizen and Naturlized Citizen are not the same thing, sorry. Do your research.
The argument still holds weight, sorry Jimboston
