With all this talk and now even a lawsuit regarding Obama’s place of birth, I was wondering about the fact (or at least, my understanding) that McCain was born in a military base in the Panama Canal Zone.

I’m assuming that being born in a U.S. military base, even if it is located in a foreign country, is enough to satisfy the Constitution? (But being born in Kenya, as Obama might have, would of course NOT be enough to satisfy.)

Would that be correct? I’m not trying to stir up something on McCain; just wondering where the delineation is drawn, exactly.

Like an embassy, a military base is considered American soil.

US military bases no matter where they are located in the world are considered as American soil. I have 3 nieces that were all born in different countries in military hospitals and have DOD American birth certs..

Well two things stand out. First, you can bet everything you have two of, that if McCains’ birthplace, in any way, compromised his requirements, the frothing libs would have made major hay of it in spades from here to Mars and back. Second, I seriously doubt that those serving our country in the military would be penalized if they had children on foreign soil while in uniform. That would be stupid, a radical demotivator, and totally senseless.

Afterall, we have at least half of the Washington government trying to GIVE CITIZENSHIP TO ILLEGAL CRIMINAL MEXICANS for NOTHING.

McCain is in the clear.

Not only that, but there is also the matter of multi-national citizenship. Does BHO hold citizenship in Indonesia and maybe Kenya, as well as not EVEN holding it in the United States? I hope Philip Berg, et al keep pushing this matter. Their Complaint bears the notation on the front page, “JURY TRIAL DEMANDED.”

At the time that McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, it was in fact part of the USA. Just as those now born in DC, PR, VI are natural born citizens, and Just as those born in Alaska and Hawaii before they were states are natural born citizens, so McCain is also.

He was not born on the base, though.
