McCain was born on an American Territory,the Panama Canal Zone, by two USA citizens.

There is evidence available, for what it may be worth, that he was not born in the Panama Canal Zone..

Yes ... the McCain Birth Certificate; this is the kind of document we want to see for Obama but have never been shown. Thanks for posting it.

I looked at it and noticed that it states that McCain was born at Colon Hospital. Setting aside that I know something of the history of the US presence in Panama, from just looking at a Map of the historic "Panama Canal Zone" it is CLEAR that Colon was WITHIN the Zone, as was Colon Hospital.

Hence, McCain was born on US Territory, under US Jurisdiction, the son of two US Citizens, and is therefore a native born US Citizen.

A child born of two US citizens is a “natural born” American; regardless of their location at the time of birth.

In AMERICA (because of a stupid USSC decision), a child born within the borders or on US property (Embassy, US territory, etc...) is a “natural born” citizen (think anchor babies); regardless of their nationality.

Since his mother was an American, but his father was NOT, the location of his birth is the ONLY thing that matters in this instance.

Having a daughter born in England of two Native Born US Citizens, I know for a fact that she is considered a Native Born Citizen.

One parent born in Santa Monica, California (with a public Birth Certificate) and one born in Grosse Pointe, Michigan (with a public Birth Certificate). End of story.

As long as both parents are US Citizens, the child is automatically a "Native Born US Citizen, regardless of the country of the actual birth.
