Dual Citizenship


Have you heard the latest update in the Presidential elections? McCain was born outside the continental United States and therefore may not qualify as a “natural born” citizen, a requirement for the presidency. Senator John McCain was born on a military installation in the Panama Canal Zone because his father was a Navy officer. Despite rooting for the Democratic Party, I think people are being extremely and annoyingly picky about this situation. If Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to run for President then that would be an obvious violation of the Constitution but McCain’s father was born while his father was serving our country. Is that really fair? I think this incident is going to create precedence. The government will probably let this die down but the controversy of eliminating the potential Republican presidential nominee.
