I was born in Landstuhl, Germany while my Dad, a staff sergeant
in the Air Force, was stationed nearby. If this McCaskill bill
passes, and it has the support of Barack Obama, then for the
first time in my life I will be eligible to run for President
of these United States !!!
Watch out boyos, all you nymph fishermen are gonna be TOAST !
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!
Not to throw water on your joke..........but the current discussion
McCain is a red herring. He, and you are already legally able to
be prez.
McCain's situation is slightly different in that the Canal Zone,
where he was born, was under US control. Germany in 1956 was not
under US control. I do not have a Birth Certificate, I have a
Geburtsurkunde. Try explaining *that* to the Little League. ;-)
So far as I know, and I have the State Department papers to prove
it, I am a Naturalized Citizen and not a "natural born" citizen
as specified in the Constitution.
So unless you're a constitutional lawyer or a voting member of
the US Supreme Court I'd have to take your opinion regarding my,
and John McCain's, citizenship status with a large dollop of salt.
And, as usual, Sen. Claire (one of my senators, ugh) is wasting time,
while the interstate highways here rot.
cheers
oz, considering Tanneycomo this weekend
Branson. Yuk. Come over to Illinois next week to shoot some
snow geese and fish for muskie in Lake Kinkaid, the southern
Illinois cast & blast !
