McCain is eligible to be president

The ABA Journal reports:

A federal judge in San Francisco has tossed a lawsuit that had contended John McCain is not a U.S. citizen and should not be allowed on the ballot.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup said McCain’s birth in the Panama Canal Zone made him a citizen under the relevant statutes, Legal Times reports. \”Plaintiff has not demonstrated the likelihood of success on the merits necessary to warrant the drastic remedy he seeks,” Alsup wrote.
