McCain's citizenship called into question Candidate, born in Panama Canal Zone, may not qualify as 'natural born' updated 5:21 p.m. MT, Fri., Feb. 29, 2008
Pete Williams - Justice correspondent • Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and his advisers are doing their best to brush aside questions — raised in the liberal blogosphere — about whether he is qualified under the Constitution to be president. But many legal scholars and government lawyers say it's a serious question with no clear answer.
The problem arises from a phrase in the Constitution setting out who is eligible to be president. Article II, which also specifies that a person must be at least 35 years old, says "No person except a natural born Citizen" can be president.
Sen. McCain is undoubtedly a citizen. He was born on Aug. 29, 1936, in the Panama Canal Zone, and Congress has specifically provided that anyone born there of U.S. parents, as he was, is a citizen. Indeed, the general rule is that anyone born of U.S. parents outside the United States is a citizen.
But is John McCain a natural born citizen? The Constitution does not define the term further, and legal scholars say the notes of the Constitution's drafters shed little light on what they meant. It seems clear only that the founders wanted to make certain that whoever was president would be loyal to the U.S. alone and not to some other country. But the term "natural born citizen," many scholars say, was not in common use at the time the Constitution was written.
Sen. McCain's supporters draw some comfort from a law passed in 1790 by the first Congress. It provided that the children of US citizens born outside the US "shall be considered as natural born citizens." The law is no longer in effect, but it provides some guidance on what the founders had in mind at the time of the Constitution.
(snip)
In 1964, the Supreme Court seemed to say, without deciding, that "natural born" meant born inside the United States. In an opinion on an unrelated issue, the court observed, "The rights of citizenship of the native born and of the naturalized person are of the same dignity and are coextensive. The only difference drawn by the Constitution is that only the 'natural born' citizen is eligible to be President." But that language is not legally binding, and the Supreme Court has never ruled on what "natural born" means.
The ambiguity has stirred concern for decades. In 1987, New York Times columnist William Safire suggested amending the Constitution. "The 'natural born' phrase unfairly burdens children of Americans born abroad ... because it casts a shadow across any candidacy: if elected, the President-elect would surely face a challenge on the born-abroad impediment," he wrote.
U.S. 'never had sovereignty' over Canal Zone Besides, many legal scholars say the Canal Zone never was sovereign U.S. territory. In a February 1978 speech to the nation on the Panama Canal Treaty, heavily vetted by government lawyers, President Carter said, "We have never had sovereignty over it. We have only had the right to use it. The US Supreme Court and previous American presidents have repeatedly acknowledged the sovereignty of Panama over the Canal Zone."
It's not clear, either, who would have the legal right to sue if McCain were elected president. One expert on federal procedure said any taxpayer aggrieved by an action of a President McCain would have standing to challenge his qualifications.
Legal scholars generally agree on one thing, however. If this issue did produce a legal challenge, the courts would be very reluctant to invalidate the results of an election, especially given such an uncertain legal landscape.

Funny, since Bush was appointed in 2000. Maybe McLame can drop a 1000 pound bomb on Babs Bush's house in Texas and proclaim the Bush family "GOOKS"!
. I find it fascinating that even you are ashamed to use PMSNBC as a source. Did you really think anyone would believe your lie that the article came from NBC?

It is a complete non issue, but that won't stop the NYTimes from attempting to make it one. The NYTimes make those Hollywoood rags look like the Bible.

. Even better than that. There was a period when it looked like I might edit Rush Limbaugh Comics. My partner and I put together a presentation issue of what RLC might look like. We got right wing cartoonists to submit a proposed page or two, presented it to Roger Allies.
My partner Mark got a call back from Roger Allies a few weeks later. He liked the project. "The good news is that The Captian (Rush's nickname) is interested. The bad news is that he won't have time to launch the project for at least a few years. Roger also asked about me. "The Captain noticed one piece in particular, called 'Weekend at Vinnie's' In the piece, you have Hillary Clinton trying to 'skunk Vince Foster's dead body through a fromal White House party', and 'high-larity results.'"
"If we do this project" Roger continued, "Mr. Vallely should be reminded that, although Mrs. Clinton is a Democrat, she is still First Lady, and a certain minimum dignity must be maintained. The Captain then wondered 'when did I become the one telling others not to go so far to the right? Other people are supposed to tell ME that.'"
Eventually, it was not to be - I wound up doing other things. But it was a nice moment.

I'm sorry, working for Limpballs is something I would never want to do. Therefore, I'm not impressed.
As far as the poetry thing.......it wouldn't work here. Learned that the hard way through the years.
We occasionally go to an open mike night. It's music and comedy, basically. This girl is sometimes there. She's probably in her early 20's and is the next biggest Kerouac fan that I've ever met. There's a dvd about him where they show a clip of the old Steve Allen Show where Jack reads over Allen's piano. This girl plays the keys and thought it would be a great idea if...........
People who have seen me do readings at those type of open mike nights and would tell me how much they liked my stuff......came up afterwards and told us how badly it went.

YOU do some research, moron.
all your leftist masters do is throw stuff, hoping it will stick. in the meantime, your drooling brainwashed trolls happily prance about, parroting what you have been told to believe.
McCain is a citize. 200 years of law confirm that.

I just Googled your last name and Archie Comics, and that came up. There's also a blurb on IMDB.
