natural-born citizen?
The President of the United States must be a natural-born citizen. John McCain was born on a military base in Panama. Does this disqualify him? The New York Times raises the issue, and this is my favoritie part of the article:
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and one of Mr. McCain’s closest allies, said it would be incomprehensible to him if the son of a military member born in a military station could not run for president.
“He was posted there on orders from the United States government,” Mr. Graham said of Mr. McCain’s father. “If that becomes a problem, we need to tell every military family that your kid can’t be president if they take an overseas assignment.”
I think it will be a travesty if this really becomes an issue!
