I've spoken repeatedly about this new controversy (if it amounts to that) regarding John McCain.
The Washington Post has a story on it.
Some have argued that it's a non-issue since McCain was born on a military base in Panama.
If we use Scalia's originalism as a guide (and I'm sure John McCain wouldn't object since Scalia is a conservative darling...), then the founders' intent when drafting the Constitution was that only those born in the U.S. qualified for the Presidency.
We'll see.
The irony would be that McCain would be ineligible for the presidency, irrespective of his war hero status.
