Same with McCain

They ran with JM was born in Panama despite the fact he had AMERICAN parents and the father was there on OFFICIAL USN business.
Think they were pointing out he was born in a Panamanian hospital, not the US one.

Think they also brought up the fact inre Romney that either he or his father was born in Mexico while on a ‘Missionary Mission’

My sister was born in the same hospital in Panama and under the same circumstances. She was not a citizen and found out when she went to register to vote. Dad was still in the Air Force at the time. It was a big mess but he got her naturalized and eligible to vote.

McCain would have likely received a "Record of an American Board Abroad" from the U.S. Consulate; so in effect, his citizenship was recognized at birth.

The same holds true for the vast majority of military personnel that had children, who may have been born while stationed overseas.
