Question: What is "natural born?"
Read this story about John McCain's birthplace and issues it raises.
We used to debate this issue in my American Government classes. My answer to my students: it's never come up so we don't know how it would be resolved. Well, I guess it has now. When it all comes down to it I think he's a "natural born" citizen. If his place of birth doesn't qualify him then the years in the North Vietnamese prison camp do.
