Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Was the state he was born in a state yet when he was born?

He was born in the Canal Zone. The question is whether or not territories count as natural-born, because there's never been a case that actually defines what exactly "natural-born" means.

Dude! Beaten by Kat's lightning-fast strike-through!

Really? Where was Andrew Jackson born?

Nevermind. i really should google before I ask.

He was born before the US was the US (1767). There must be someone from that time who was born in a territory before it became a state that went on to be president?

Ann, that's a ferret.

It's even more complicated. He was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which was a U.S. possession at the time but was never a State. And isn't even a U.S. possession any more.

He wasn't born in the United States. At the very least, because the United States didn't exist when he was born.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But he was actually born on US military property, right? (Edit: McCain, not Andrew Jackson.) And to two US citizens, so. Moot point, anyway.

Or, of course, a moo point. Like a cow would make!!

I don't think my free coffee was decaf like I asked for.....

The OTHER Carolina. I'm sure of it.

(Srsly. Somewhere right near the NC-SC border, but the surveys weren't exactly good at the time, so nobody knows. So I will very generously allow SC to have him.)

Too much caffeine and sugar? WOOOOOOOO!!!!

Of course, what I really need to be doing is my self-evaluation. Or the many things on my to-do list, so that my self-evaluation is better. But whatever.
