SubscribeObama Helps McCain Become Natural Born
From the Washington Post:
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) hand wrote her legislative fix on a yellow legal pad, which she delivered to the Senate clerk, to ensure that any persons born to U.S. citizens serving in the Armed Services while stationed abroad qualify to become president of the United States.
Obama Backs Law Helping McCain
By Shailagh Murray
FT. WORTH, Texas — Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign announced he would co-sponsor legislation introduced yesterday by his political ally Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill to ensure that John McCain can become president, even though he was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
The issue of McCain’s eligibility was raised in a New York Times article noting the constitutional requirement that a U.S. president be a “natural-born citizen” had never been fully defined.
The McCaskill bill, submitted immediately after she scrawled it onto a notepad on the Senate floor in response to the Times story, would establish the eligibility of anyone born to a U.S. citizen who is serving overseas as an active or reserve members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The Arizona senator’s father was a Navy officer serving in the Canal Zone when McCain was born there in 1936.
“Senator McCain has earned the right to be his party’s nominee, and no loophole should prevent him from competing in this campaign,” said Obama.
Legislative wizards Barack Obama and Claire MCaskill
May Allah preserve us from such preposterous pig ignorance.
Mind you, St. Obama pretends to be a Constitutional scholar.
Of course we have debunked this errant nonsense already. As anyone with an internet connection or a library card can do in a few minutes.
But, still, they has better pass this law through quickly, so as to legitimatize these gentlemen:
Who, alas, were all born on British soil, and we now know, were thereby unqualified to hold the office of the Presidency.
Heck, they weren’t even born to US citizens.

I always thought a child born to a US ciizen was automaticly a US citizen, no matter where they were born.

What loophole, you dipshit? As if we need a history lesson from somebody who doesn’t even know his own. Maybe if he just asked grandma and grandpa……
Pomposity!!

I think 5 1/2 years in a POW camps qualifies.
If he’s not an American, is he then Panamanian? Leave it to the Dems, who are still trying to figure out what the meaning of “is” is while driving around with Kerry bumper stickers and claiming that Carl Rove “stole” the 2000 and 2004 elections. This same nonsense came up when Goldwater ran — he was born in Arizona when it was a teritory, not a state.

…”U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) hand wrote her legislative fix…”
This is the first evidence I’ve seen of my state’s junior senator doing anything. I’m impressed by the magnanimity of the act. (pfftt)

Actually I sort of wish McCain wasn’t eligible.
Sorry to his supporters, but the Liberal Senator is simply awful.
He doesn’t even seem stable at times.
Then there’s that Global Warming peddling with Joe Lieberman.

Stoopid!
How about a law on a legal pad to eliminate the IRS NOW? Etc.

Oh please………you know what, they are absolutely right. That constitutional requirement has not been defined. So can we now strip every anchor baby ever born in this country of their citizenship? You liberals can’t have it both ways. If this even gets to the point of being a bill, it will finally give Obama’s supporters an answer to the question of “name something that he’s done”. Get real people, you are really reaching now…… I am going to stop now before I get myself in trouble.

Remember, this clown [Zer-Obama] taught Constitutional law.
I wonder if all his students can get a refund.

The NYT would consider some illegal’s anchor baby more qualified.
