Re: "Even assuming the 1790 law doesn't apply," No need to 'assume' anything! The 1790 law you quoted from was REPEALED and REVOKED in 1795. Null and Void. No legality or effect except for the period from 1790 to 1795. (So if McCain had only been born in, say, 1792 or so he could look to the protections of that act. <g>) Re: ...there is nothing in ANY law or in the constitution that says that someone born a US citizen is not a "natural born US citizen". In the absence of such law.... LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (As I've tried to explain, the meaning of our constitution's provisions is affirmatively defined and explicated by our laws, and by decisions of the courts. And, here the United States Supreme Court has clearly spoken - and ruled that Congress is the 'decider'. And, as I've also shown, Congress has passed a few laws that are on-point at defining both the meaning of the 'natural born' phrase... as well as the EXACT LEGAL STATUS for persons born in the Zone. Little need for airy speculations about 'what isn't' in our laws... we can be content with what affirmatively IS IN our laws. :-)
