Born in the USA?

Never satisfactorily resolved one way or the other, it remains in limbo whether or not Senator John McCain was actually eligible for the US presidency, having been born in the Panama Canal Zone, where his father, a US naval officer, was stationed. At any rate, Senator McCain chose to run.

Earlier would-be presidents George Romney and Barry Goldwater, as well as 21st president Chester A. Arthur, had found themselves in the same circumstance.

The Birthplace of President Obama in 1961, however, questioned over and over, has been proven incontestably to be Honolulu. Hawaii, a US territory since July 7, 1898,
was created a state on August 21, 1959.

The mission of the Right is plain---
They've vowed, though it may be in vain,
Against the president to preach,
Investigate and then impeach.

What is it that they have in mind?
What do they expect to find?
That he's a Socialist out to throw
Cold water on our status quo?

That he's a heathen Muslim man,
Emerged from some exotic clan?
That he's an alien from the wild,
Not born a real American child?

Exactly what would they have done
If Senator McCain had won?
We know that they would never scorn
That president, though Panama born!
