What I don’t understand, is why are we facing this issue every four year?

Nobody is born here?

Even McCain was born in Panama.

I believe McCain is legit, two U.S. Parents.

It is so strange that this basic issue is such a tough hurdle for POTUS.

-- I believe McCain is legit, two U.S. Parents. --

McCain was born an alien too, dual citizen by operation of Act of Congress, similar to Cruz.

See Thomas v. Lynch - 5th Circuit - August 7, 2015 - 14-60297

Thomas contends that the military base located in modern-day Germany where he was born was "in the United States" for purposes of the Fourteenth Amendment. We disagree.

Thomas, born on a US military base in Germany, was adjudicated not a citizen at all. Had his citizen parent (father) obtained the US residency prescribed in the relevant statute, Thomas would have been a citizen by operation of an Act of Congress. McCain is a naturalized citizen.
