Well to start with McCain was, [is], not eligible. What happened in '08 with SR511, that Obama co-sponsored, was to declare McCain an NBC. However that non-binding resolution has a few flaws. First it mentions
Whereas such limitations would be inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the `natural born Citizen' clause of the Constitution of the United States, as evidenced by the First Congress's own statute defining the term `natural born Citizen';
They are clearly referring to the 1790 Naturalization Act where it states;
And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens;
This provision was removed fives later because congress could not make a law to define what was a natural law. This is why again when debating the 14th they made it clear what was a natural born Citizen in debate of the language.

The part they did get right was the two parent rule. But why would the Senators not make the leap to realize Obama's dilemma of a one parent Citizen? I submit a deal was made to ignore this fact and go along with the narrative of him being "native" born. SR511 also states that McCain was born on a military base.

Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936.
He was born in Colon at the Colon Hospital which IIRC is about 40 miles from the military base, but either way it was not on a US military base.

“He was born in Colon at the Colon Hospital which IIRC is about 40 miles from the military base, but either way it was not on a US military base. “

John McCain was born at the “Family Hospital” at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone. Both his REAL birth certificate and his mother confirmed that. The birth certificate which stated that he was born in Colon, Panama was a fake.
