“Why did our Congress keep quiet? Because McCain was also ineligible”

In my opinion a child born to a serving US-citizen military officer and his US-citizen wife anywhere in the world is a natural born citizen of the USA. “Natural born citizen” is about inherited loyalty at birth, not geography.

Our legal tradition assumes loyalty can be inherited, so to speak, through geography. It’s called “jus soli.”
