“That is fact and will probably disqualify McCain too, who was born in Panama.

Wrong. Armed forces members married to US citizens on orders to be overseas are always considered as having US natural born children regardless of where the child is born.

The same holds true for any child born to American citizen parents overseas. It is not confined to the Armed Forces.

My son was born in Landstuhl Germany at the 2nd Army General Hospital in 1978 - I was a citizen and an Air Force Officer at Ramstein AB and my wife was/is a citizen - and it was not as clear cut as you make it sound. Both military and State Department personnel briefing the new parents said that if any of the children aspired to be President, then it would have to be determined whether or not they qualified as natural born. He was issued a "Certificate of Birth of an American Born Abroad", but that doesn't say natural born anywhere on it.
