Natural Born Citizen

Was doing some research in the Harvard Law Review when I came across an article on the Presidential eligibility requirement of being a natural born citizen. It was fairly interesting, tracing the common law roots and all. Obviously Cruz is eligible. Most interesting were things I didn't know:

The Senate passed some type of measure unanimously declaring its support for the notion that John McCain was a natural born citizen

Barry Goldwater was not born in the United States. (Arizona was not yet a state when he was born.)

George Romney was born in Mexico.

So far as I could tell, the only Democratic presidential candidate not born in the U.S. was Obama.

John McCain was born in Panama (in the Panama Canal Zone - U.S. territory at the time).

and damn you didn't leave the Obama punch line open!
Hawaii was only a state for 2 years when Obama was born, but already a U.S. territory before that)

per Goldwater - Arizona was the 48th state (1912)
