Is McCain eligible?

I found out some interesting news today as i was browsing the web. I came across an article that discussed the presidential eligibility of Senator John McCain. What has caused such a sticky situation is the fact that McCain was born in the panama canal zone and it has raised the question of his eligibility . The constitution clearly states that the candidate must be a "natural born citizen" but, throughout the years, has been interpreted as an individual having to be born to an American citizen and not necessarily on American soil. McCain was born in the panama canal zone because his father, an American citizen, was a naval officer stationed there. The article in the new york times states that there have been candidates that have withdrawn their bid for the presidency because of they were not born on American soil. Many actually consider it a non issue and rightfully so. However, it goes to show, that some parts of the constitution can still be misinterpreted after all of these years. And this issue of being "a natural born citizen" is acutally making its ways through the courts. Soon, we shall see an amendment fixing the issue and clearing up the ambiguity of the what it takes to be eligible to be a United States president.
