Unfortunately, the 14th Amendment does not explicitly determine citizenship with respect to the United States presidency. Rather, it establishes the right of United States citizens for equal protection under the law and affirms the jus soli (birthright) theory of American citizenship.

The Constitution does not say you have to be born in the United States, so there is room to decide what 'natural born' means, but the informal interpretation that we all accept has never been tested.
While this is probably an issue, the courts would most likely rule that McCain is fully eligible to be the President.
I am not a supporter of McCain, but I will vote for him as the least bad.

yes

I dont see why this should be a factor?...

I dont see why this should be a factor?Bear in mind the constitution was written at a time when the Americans saw the English as a threat, so in much the same as the right to bear arms, this is an outdated law with no real necessity any more.

Naturalised means even if born outside USA but from parents on duty outside the country who are citizen of USA. I do not see any reason for this he should be disqualified.

If this will be the case then any Americal parent who aspire their kid to become US president in future would never like to deliver the child outside USA....

I would not, I believe he was not born as a citizen of the united states.

Yea I would cuz there really isn't anybody better for the conservatives now....his parents were in the military...he was a military brat...he lives in this country....and fought for it so yea.

If he was born in the canal zone, its a US territory. Citizen!
If not, his parents were citizens abroad and has dual citizen ship until he's 18 and chooses one that sticks. Technically, the US does not recognize dual citizenship for adults.

So the point is moot, like if he was born in Beverly Hills, Berkley or Boulder. Unfortunately, he would still be considered a citizen in these cases,...

And yes,he's not the best, but he's better than the rest. He's our Motel^ candidate. Ya all come back now, ya hear!
-rather than having us thrown right away into Darfur as both the others swear to do, and increase the military by 60,000 and OPENLY say he would invade Pakistan(covert plans are what we expect, not mouthing off what you may not be able to do without greater disaster.*****Teddy Roosevelt: Walk softly and carry a big stick, and Later WWII "loose lips sink ships".worked for a century. Not present news telling where the Prince is in Afghanistan,etc.
But then again, that's probably more that Mrs Obama never felt proud of, other non-firsts she learned in US History.
And Hillary will let China walk all over us, the Panama Canal US ports(>11 now)and more AND the Moon, while she pretends to solve the Lunar Healthcare Problem for them
so as not to hurt her Walmart stock portfolio which she still refuses to open to inspection along with her military and oil investments which all give her great profit, esp with the Darfur plans. Check out the new military contract just passed this week for all the refueling tanker planes, think in prep for a distant No Fly Zone that will be >1000 miles from any friendly zone? Dividends, dividends, tax write offs! Notice that, for being a second term juniorSenator, she ranked 9/100+ for special interest group pork projects. Obviously she represents the common people- all 63 of them in her PAC groups!

I would only vote for him over the drug person because well he is more suited for the job; however, I would have to agree that he is not eligible to be president...

i would not vote for john mccain because he was technically not born in the US and hillary is going to win anyway

All the more reason,he might not be so stupid.

yes but he needs to change his position on the war. We cannot send 17 year old men and women to war for years and years. If he is a man of faith he should believe that God will keep our country safe through love and not war. World peace and love others
