Hmmm. The New York Times says that “queries” and “debate” is resurfacing over whether John McCain is eligible to be U.S. President, because he was born on a U.S. military facility.
But the “queries” are coming from the paper, and the The headline says that there are “queries” and say a “debate” has resurfaced. But they cite no one complaining or challenging him. They quote lots and lots of legal scholars saying this is a non-issue.
I also note the inane opening sentence: “The question has nagged at the parents of Americans born outside the continental United States for generations: Dare their children aspire to grow up and become president?”
Uh, if there’s an issue of being outside the continental United States (a blatant misreading of the Constitution) what does that say about the likely Democratic nominee who was born in Hawaii?
(Merriam-Webster definition: being the part of the United States on the North American continent; also : being the part of the United States comprising the lower 48 states.)
