Buddy, you really should check before you say "You are WRONG" to someone. "Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." en.wikipedia.org A little more humility is in order. I'm not saying this as a slam on you, people generally should be a little more humble in this regard. Unless your absolutely sure (which you shouldn't be, because you were wrong), you should think about saying something like "I don't think so", or "I think your wrong", or "I'm pretty sure your wrong", rather than "You are WRONG", with not just the lack of qualifications or expression of uncertainty, but the extra emphasis from the all caps. This mention isn't really a very important issue. Its a side show from the question where discussing, but in a minor, unimportant way you where wrong, and then you just continued to not just post as if there was no doubt that you where right, but as if anyone who disagrees was a fool or an idiot. You keep getting confused on this one point... but NO ONE (not me, not ANYONE) has ever* disputed the FACT that McCain is a citizen of the United States of America* And I didn't say or imply that you where disputing this fact. For the THIRD TIME, the law containing this clause was passed in 1790, and it doesn't just say "are citizens", but that they are "natural born" citizens. "The children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural-born citizens of the United States." Its the Naturalization Act of 1790 en.wikipedia.org Unless your trying to argue that McCain was born before March 26, 1790 (and after September 17, 1787, or he would be qualified through another clause), than you don't have a leg to stand on.
