Senator McCain was born in Panama...
Individuals born in Panama with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen is also a U.S. citizen; so what is your point?
Are you really this ignorant, or are you baiting.. or are you being sarcastic?
“Senator McCain was born in Panama...”
In the Panama Canal Zone, which at the time was U.S. controlled. Congress passed a law many years ago clarifying that children born of at least one American parent there were American citizens.
McCain is a natural-born citizen, even though he was not born within this country’s borders, since his parents were citizens at the time of his birth. As a Congressional Act stated in 1790 and another reaffirmed in 1795:
Congress: “And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens.”
The State Department says that this law is again honored under section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
