The Presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee?

MANIFESTO

This is no doubt a tempest in a teapot, but in an interesting development,
a law professor at the University of Arizona has concluded that neither [John] McCain’s birth in 1936 in the Panama Canal Zone nor the fact that his parents were American citizens is enough to satisfy the constitutional requirement that the president must be a “natural-born citizen.”
How many times have Republicans done an end-around regarding issues like this? In other words, as much as McCain's candidacy might violate the letter of the law, there's no way that the constitutional stricture will stop him from running—and, I suspect, any court in the land would allow this.
