not exactly. you have to be a natural born citizen to be president. being born in the US is one way to achieve NBC status but not the only way. john mccain was not born in the US but congress still felt he met the NBC eligibility.

Being born at a US Naval Air base in Panama is a lot closer to being an American than being born in Africa or Indonesia.

McCain also served our country & was a POW for many years in Vietnam. He suffered broken bones & was inflicted with daily torture & starvation by the Northern Vietnamese.

Obama has never served our country & never will as president either. He's a disgrace & a phony. I honestly believe he could possibly even be a plant by the very Muslims who wan't to destroy this country.

Yes we sure do.

If this was anyone else some of these people would want to know every single thing about a persons life.
But for some reason they are behind this mans hiding of his entire life.

Hoping we get the states to force him and all others to provide full documentation and no hidden life history or the candidate does not get on any state ballot.

If the person cannot provide long and stringent information as required then they do not get on that states ballot. No votes means no election possibilities.

Want to see a few on the left squirm like crazy? They will if the states demand full disclosure for anyone who is running to the office of the President and anyone who may become VP.

I believe Obama just committed the biggest fraud onto the American people ever and we are still sitting here wondering if he was or was not born in the USA. For me it is too late to worry about this right now but we need to force his hand for the 2012 election and if he does not provide proof then we will know he committed fraud onto the American people wont we.

We do deserve to know every single thing about anyone running for this office and I mean everything. No hidden or locked up documents, nothing.

This applies to every candidate running.

The LAW states McCain was eligible and has been this way for tons of years.

They still go back to this old BS with McCain.

So now they want to reward a liar in Obama and stop an American hero whos father fought for our country and whose parents were both US Citizens.

It is not right to stop a kid whose US citizens hero military parents are defending your country from being anything they want to be and that is what the loons on the left wanted to do.

Obamas father never was a US citizen and his Mom gave up her citizenship.

A ton of difference here.

I'm actually surprised Clinton was elected president after being found out to have protested Vietnam on the lawns of the Whitehouse. Then later the whole sex scandal with an intern inside the Oval Office.

Nothing a Democrat does or says surprises me anymore.

this isn't horseshoes. NBC status isn't determined by being closer.

that being said i do believe that mccain qualified as a NBC. obama qualified by being born in hawaii.
