:::::::Actually, McCain has a similar issue, in that he was not born in the US, and arguably not on US territory.  Most every single scholar I've read in the last few days on this has said McCain's case will be a compelling one, legally, because no court in the land would dare say a person born out of this country to two citizens, one of whom was SERVING HIS COUNTRY, would be denied the right to be president.  As we become more and more of a mobile population, with people traveling and living overseas for extended periods of time (business, government, or travel) I think more children will be born of two natural citizens, but not on the US territory.  I will be curious to watch how the term "Natural Born Citizen" is defined by the Court under any case, Obama or McCain, just for the historical precedent it will set.  --[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 12:41, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

::::::::: By the way, Qwest, there is no legal principal that "silence is admittance".  Until or unless a Judge posts an Order compelling you to provide a particular document or telling you to agree or deny, you are not obligated to.  Some instances this might be used could include famous people being hit over and over again with frivolis lawsuits, just cause they have money or power.--[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 12:52, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

::::::::::McCain was born in United States territory, which the Panama Canal Zone was prior to 1978, when by treaty it was turned over to Panama.  Anyone born in the United States, its territories, or its overseas military bases is an American citizen.  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 13:18, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
