    Excerpts:

    .................................................. ............

    After reading and researching the outstanding work of Professor Gabriel J. Chin, in his work “11 months and a hundred yards short of citizenship,” we began to understand what was caught in John’s throat. Reviewing the facts Professor Chin presents it is clear that John McCain was not born under the American flag on a military base in the Canal Zone, in fact he was not born in the Canal Zone. The Colon Hospital was built by the Panama Railroad Company in the city of Colon, which was under the Panamanian flag. There is an interesting tidbit of history that only military personnel would understand. The Colon Hospital was responsible for the “sanitary health” of the “working women” of Colon who provided “comfort” to the servicemen and canal workers during that time. The Panamanian police were responsible for insuring that these ladies went to the hospital. This alone is one big red flag as to this hospital being on a military base, and for Colon in general being a part of the Canal Zone.

    When we add up both Jay and Hamilton we arrive at only one definition for a natural born citizen that satisfies their concerns, and that is Vattel’s definition in Book One, Chapter 19,

    § 212. Of the citizens and natives.

    “The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”


    Does this mean that John McCain is not a natural born citizen, if we accept the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States codified Vattel in our Federal Common Law, then the answer is no.

    "When the United States declared their independence, they were bound to receive the law of nations, in its modern state of purity and refinement." Ware v. Hylton, 3 Dall. 199, 281 (1796) (Wilson, J.). In the years of the early Republic, this law of nations comprised two principal elements, the first covering the general norms governing the behavior of national states with each other: "the science which teaches the rights subsisting between nations or states, and the obligations correspondent to those rights," E. de Vattel, The Law of Nations, Preliminaries §3 (J. Chitty et al. transl. and ed. 1883) (hereinafter Vattel) (footnote omitted), or "that code of public instruction which defines the rights and prescribes the duties of nations, in their intercourse with each other," 1 James Kent Commentaries *1. This aspect of the law of nations thus occupied the executive and legislative domains, not the judicial.

    The experts Olsen and Tribe, are not so expert as they think. They needed to convolute the law, when all what MCain needed was there in front of them. As we see the Supreme Court had ruled that the Law of Nations by Vattel was given to us, so let us revisit Vattel.

    Also in Book One, Chapter 19 we find,

    § 217. Children born in the armies of the state.

    For the same reasons also, children born out of the country, in the armies of the state, or in the house of its minister at a foreign court, are reputed born in the country; for a citizen who is absent with his family, on the service of the state, but still dependent on it, and subject to its jurisdiction, cannot be considered as having quitted its territory.

    Since John McCain was born of two American citizen parents, and who by definition of the Law of Nations that the Supreme Court of the United States says is the foundation of our Federal Common Law, they did not quit the country, John McCain’s birth would meet the definition of Vattel’s definition found in § 212. Of the citizens and natives. What is more since McCain was born without Panamanian citizenship he satisfies the concerns of the founding fathers, both John Jay and Alexander Hamilton.

    If John McCain had competent legal council instead of political legal council and allowed this to go to the Supreme Court there is without a doubt that he would have been found to be a natural born citizen as required under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States.
