More liberal lunacy.

Scenario 1) Boy born to 4 star navy Admiral and wife while stationed on duty in the Panama Canal Zone and they question the boy's citizenship.

Scenario 2) Boy born to Mexican nationals who climbed over the fence into the USA in the dead of night breaking every immigration law that our legislature has ever enacted and they embrace his citizenship.

LMAO....here's a thought. What if neither candidate was eligible?

I think they both actually are....but it's funny to see both sides go at it about birth certificates.

In order to be President of the U.S., you must be more than just a citizen, you must be a "natural-born" citizen. Does McCain meet the criteria? Experts disagree.

McCain not natural-born citizen, prof says - UPI.com

If McCain wins and is deemed ineligible (after the fact), does the VP become President?

Will we have another election that the Supreme Court will decide?

I think most people agree Sarah Palin could not run this country. Maybe that is why he picked her, no judge would ever deem him not a natural born citizen with that in mind.. lol..

good thing he wont be winning..

This has been a problem for McCain since 2000 when he first ran.

I dont see why people go after Obama, because he was born In Hi and has shown his birth certificate. But this issue with John McCain is a real issue, so real he was worried enough to ask the senate and hire legal help, just in case he won the election for when the cases start rolling in again.
