Maya Soetoro-Ng is 40. (She will become 41 in August.) Although she was born in Djkarta, Indonesia, she can serve as president, as she was born a US citizen by dint of her mother being a US citizen. This is the same as John McCain, who was born in Panama.
Yes. The Constitution requires that you be a U.S. citizen at birth. As long as you are the child of a U.S. citizen, or you are born in a territory of the United States (which Hawaii was before it became a state), you are born a citizen of the U.S. So even if Obama had been born a few years earlier, he'd still be the legitimate President of the United States.(Likewise, John McCain was born in Panama (in the US-occupied Panama Canal Zone), and as the son of U.S. citizens, which is why he was eligible to run for president.)
Yes John M'Cain is eligible to be president . He was born in Panama but his parents were both natural born American citizens . Its no different than a female American citizen on vacation in France for example . If she gives birth to her baby in France while on vacation , does that make the baby a french citizen ? The answer is no
One of the few Constitutional requirements to become President is that the President must be a "natural born citizen" of the United States. John McCain was not born in the United States; he was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Since his father was a US Navy officer and was himself a citizen, McCain was a "natural born citizen" regardless of the location of his birth.
Although he was born in Panama in April 1956; in 2010, Luis Miguel Luchino Gonzalez Borlino, better known as Miguel Bose became an honorary citizen of Colombia.
If you mean born in America, the answer is yes. (On an interesting note, if John Mccain had been elected as our president, he would have been the first US president NOT born on American soil. John Mccain was actually born in Panama. However, he is considered to be born an American citizen because he was born on an American military base in Panama.)
