There’s still a lot of fuzziness around McCain’s NOT being qualified.
True he was born of two parents that were U. S. citizens and it’s true that he was born in a hospital in the Canal Zone, not on U. S. soil. However, the hospital may have been under contract to the U. S. at the time, which seems to be the case and it could be considered in the same manner as with U. S.Embassies being U. S. property (?). This is an issue that the Supreme Court will have to decide.
Another thing to think about is when was the hospital aboard the Naval Base built. It’s my understanding that it wasn’t built till after Johnny boy was hatched, by a couple of years. So anyone spouting off that he was born in the base needs to research their facts a lot more.

There is another interesting aspect to McCain’s situation and that is his parents were abroad under orders of the sovereign - doing the sovereign’s bidding.
