Senator McCain was born to American parents when his father was in the military, somewhere around the Panama Canal Zone. That makes him a US Citizen.

My brother and his wife had a son when they were in France (Army) and that son is an American citizen. Think of all the military kids born to American military personnel while out of the country. An American father and American mother - their children are American citizens.

Perhaps so but McCain is included in the filing questioning his citizenship. The constitution does not define "natural born".

A US military installation (even a ship) is US territory. I think the only problem with McCain was that he was born in a hospital that was outside of the base. I don’t believe the base had a maternity facility, or something like that.

Correct. According to Donofrio, he is an American citizen, just not natural born citizen and would be prevented from running for President. That is why Donofrios case includes McCain...ineligible to run for President.
