You were a US citizen from birth. See the applicable naturalization laws. John McCain was in the same position.
No John McCain was born on what was at the time US Territory. A militarily base is not considered US soil for the purpose of citizenship. A territory is considered US soil.
do you hear yourself?... See the applicable naturalization laws? A natural born citizen doe snot need to go to any law because at their birth, the only country involved was the US & no other. Just because the law retroactively gives citizenship, that does not make them natural born, it makes them naturalized through the a passed by Congress under the authority given to them in A1,S8,C4.
I'm assuming mom was not a U.S. citizen, which means dad had to be a citizen and meet the residency requirements to pass on the citizenship (10 years in the U.S./5 years after he turned 14.) That was why Obama had to be born in Hawaii, because his mother was only 18 and could not have met the residency requirement to make him a citizen at birth.
McCain's claim was even more tenuous because he was retroactively declared a citizen at birth by a law change that took place after he was born. He did have two citizen parents, however.

Actually there was some question at the time about McCain, because IIRC, McCain, although born of two US citizens while his father was stationed in the US Canal Zone in Panama, was not born on US soil, i.e. the Canal Zone. The base hospital was not open yet, so he was actually born in a Panamanian hospital on Panama soil.
So, is John McCain a ‘natural born citizen’?
