(For those who don't know, Obama is bi-racial not black and his white
mother was an American and he was born in Hawaii 6 months after
Hawaiian statehood. His father was never a US citizen - all of this is
well known and well documented. (The only US presidential candidate
that was NOT born in the US was John McCain who was born in a US Navy hospital in the Panama Canal Zone when that was US territory - and the hospital was considered US territory for presidential candidacy
purposes)

Well, there were quite a few US presidential candidates that werenrCOt born in the US starting with George Washington.

No Panamanian born in that hospital or the Canal Zone would have been an American.
The problem was that the Canal Zone was always part of Panama, never US sovereign territory. The US simply operated the Canal and adjacent lands.
He should have inherited citizenship from his parents, both of whom were American, but the Immigration and Nationality Act in that era was badly drafted with regard to Americans born abroad. Later amendments to the
Act didn't apply retroactively to McCain's situation. His parents had to have him declared an American citizen nine months after hus birth.
If it had come to it, I'm sure there would have been a dozen or so
lawyers chomping at the bit to make case law on an issue nearly unique
to McCain's eligibility to be president, but it sure as hell wouldn't
have applied to anyone else.

IIRC, that was "grandfathered" into the Constitution because so many of the Founding Fathers were not born on U.S. soil.

It's going to be interesting to see what she says about reparations
now.... No it's not!
The fishwives are not remotely interesting except
as a phenomenon in how low a broadcaster can go in filling air time.
But it will be a test of her ability to overcome her own hypocrisy. I
have no doubt that she will *fail* that test.

There is zero chance that SCOTUS would have declared McCain ineligible.
And I believe that would be true even if the Court was a "liberal"
majority.

I agree, that's why I'm saying it would have been utterly stupid to make
it a test case. but lawyers would have wanted the fame and it likely
would have happened.
