I be confused. (Happens often enough.) I always thought you had to be born in the US to be President - an issue McCain had to deal with. (Although wasn't McCain born on a US military base in Panama?)

Seems he might just qualify.... From wikipedia:

Quote:
The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term "natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "by birth" or "at birth", either by being born "in" the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to foreign parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth". Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen.
If this is the accepted definination of "natural born citizen" then he might just qualify.

Whatever, not really caring.
