To say the least, I find it rather humorous and interesting to read Elton John's fundraising efforts, in behalf of Hillary Clinton, may be violating American campaign laws. Oh, really! Let's get real! I think this is a minor campaign law technicality, and rather trivial, compared to John McCain's birth in the Panama Canal Zone.

John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which may be a major obstacle and conflict with his presidential aspirations. BTW, the Panama Canal Zone is not a suburb of Panama City, Flordia. No! The Panama Canal Zone is located in the southern part of Central America, and is not in the United States.

The American Constitution states that the President must be a natural-born Citizen. What the founding fathers exactly meant is up to interpretation and debate, and certainly this issue has to resolved soon. Granted, John McCain:

1. Was born and the year was 1936.

2. Was born in the au naturel ( nekkid ). In other words, John McCain was born in his birthday suit--nekkid or naked.

3. Is an American citizen.

From my point of view just being born in the au naturel ( naked ), and being an American citizen doesn't quite raise the bar high enough to call 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue home.

If Elton John doesn't get a free pass with his Hillary Clinton fundraising, John McCain shouldn't get a free pass with his Panama Canal Zone birth.
