We are so ahead of the curve here we dismissed this stuff months ago. It looks like the NYT should peek in on occasion.

Are you serious that it was in the Times today?
Of course he is a us citizen. Not the question.
There is no definitve precedent, but I am sure he would win any challenge.

He was born in the canal zone, a US territory.

Give them a break. They are just getting around to events that happened in 2000. They just got egg on the face for the whole McCain hit job. Now they are working on the "who won the 2000 election piece". Soon we will know if Gore is still a sore loser or not.
As well as those born to active duty military are also natural born citizens...
It's just a silly pipe dream for some people, mostly those who are afraid he will win.

Not only that, but just being born to US citizens makes you a citizen...you might have dual citizenship, depending on the laws in the country you were born in, but you are still a natural born citizen.
Looks like they are, just late...!

This solidifies the Times as tabloid trash.

Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"
Anyone born inside the United States
Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S. "

The Times should be ashamed. It took all of a minute to find the above.

They endorsed your boy.
I thought the article was pretty fair and if anything they mostly sided with McCain. Did you read it?
