A federal judge this week threw out a lawsuit that challenged Sen. John McCain’s standing as a “natural-born” citizen.
The U.S. Constitution states that only “natural-born” citizens can become president. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, leading some to question his ability to run for the nation’s highest office.
According to AP, U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled that the law at the time of McCain’s birth automatically granted citizenship to offspring of U.S. citizens.
