Senator John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which was not, according to the State Department, US Territory. He was apparently born either on a US Naval Base, or in any event in the purlieus of one, which was not, according to the State Department, US Territory. According to Panamanian Law he may have been a Citizen of Panama by Birth. Sen. McCain was a Citizen by Birth of the United States under the appropriate US Laws at the time of his Birth and according to a non-Binding Resolution of the US Senate acting under the implied powers of the XXVth Amendment to the Constitution of the USA. According to the Panamanian Legal Code, if he ever held Panamanian Citizenship, which he has never claimed by thought, word, act, or deed, he voided Panamanian Nationality when he joined the US Navy. Sen. McCain is clearly Eligible under the Law as it stood in 1787 and under Article II of the Constitution of the USA. This is and always has been, a non-Issue!

One more time just because the question of McCains citizenship is so stupid as to be laughable. Anyone who does not know that if you are born of US parents, no matter where you are born, you are a natural born US citizen. Why anyone with a brain would print the BS this guy has is beyond me.

All the crap he says about Panama is useless and means nothing one way or another. McCain had TWO parents who were US citizens, therefore he is a natural born citizen. What do people think that all the childrern of service personel who are born overseas are NOT citizens, how frickin' stupid and ignorant of US law can one get?

If John McCain (or Obama) were born on the MOON and his parents were there UNDER ORDERS FROM THE US GOVERNMENT,
be it Civilian or Military he would be a resident of the US.
I even think it would go to the same effect if his mother was a Martian and he were born on the moon and his father was under US GOVERNMENT ORDERS—as long as they were married.

I am quite sure that as long as his parents weren’t married the citizenship and location of his MOTHER at the time of birth count. I don’t see him eligible if his father was American and his UNMARRIED mother were in the Congo.

Still a BASTARD no matter which way you cut it.

I really can’t see some child I may have drunkly fathered in Japan in the 60’s showing up at my door and being eligible to run for the office of President....

Well, though it seems like a pretty straight forward situation, it's not. As the father of two children, both born of US citizens while I was on duty at Marine Barracks Bermuda, I can tell you unequivocally that they were issued a Bermudian birth certificate, which was then taken to the US consulate for issuance of a State Department Birth certificate that certified that they were, indeed, US citizens. It is NOT an automatic process. As with all things having anything to do with government - let alone two governments - there is paperwork that constructs a trail that should be easy enough to follow. This, I think is the authors position. It should be easy enough - even without specify dates - to construct a paper trail that would establish - without question - the citizenship status, and therefore, the eligibility of BHS to serve as POTUS. As the author reasonably stated, this paper trail seems to have be obfuscated to a point where it is NOT an easy trail to follow.
