I'm still waiting for Obama's multiple SSN #'s to catch some traction. Been a few months, nothing yet.

Does "natural born" mean born in the U.S. or a citizen at birth?

I'm guessing citizen considering McCain was born abroad... though under a US controlled area.

I believe it's citizen at birth...John McCain was not born in the United States...he was born at a military hospital overseas...

Supreme Court hasn't ruled on it much. But, natural born citizen means born on US soil. John McCain's situation is a little hazy since he was born in Panama on a military base... but, I think it would be fine Constitutionally since the military base is US soil (though I'm not an expert).

If Obama was born in Kenya, even though he'd be a US citizen... he wouldn't be eligible to be President.




Having said that.............. there's no fucking evidence that he was born in Kenya. There's overwhelming evidence that he was born in Hawaii. You have to take an enormous leap of faith or just be a bit fucking crazy to believe that he was born in Kenya.

Obama's Realm of sorcerers have a time machine.. Obviously they went back in time and printed the Hawaiian news paper announcing his birth

I think you're right. I remember during the election there was some talk about McCain's eligibility as well and I remember reading that there really isn't any established law on the subject.

His mom was a hippy type, that probably didn't wash her snatch. I'm sure there was some US soil around wherever he was born.
