(2008-02-28) — President George Bush today signed an executive order granting ‘amnesty’ to foreign-born Sen. John McCain, allowing the presumptive Republican nominee to bypass the Constitutional requirement that a president be a “natural born citizen.” John Sidney McCain III was born in the Panama Canal zone when his Naval officer father was stationed there in 1936. The Supreme Court has never definitively interpreted the phrase “natural born”, but no person known to be born outside U.S. borders has ever been elected president. Under President Bush’s order, Sen. McCain would be granted an immediate ‘P visa’ allowing him to remain in the U.S., with ‘guest candidate’ status, as he works toward full presidential eligibility. “My compassion moves me to create a legal path to the presidency for my amigo, John McCain,” said Mr. Bush. “Of course, he’ll need to pay a $2,000 fine, but he already speaks English better than some recent presidents.” Poster Comment: Discussions:

Disqualified?
Update: Senator Claire McCaskill (Democrat from MO) introduced legislation yesterday that would define a "natural-born citizen" (the problematic phrase in the Constitution) to include anyone born to any U.S. citizen while serving in the active or reserve components of the U.S. armed forces. Barack Obama's campaign announced yesterday afternoon that he'd cosponsor the bill.
