McCain's father's active duty status with the U.S. military defined his jurisdiction. Therefore McCain was a citizen by birth and possibly even a "natural born" citizen as well. Military officers remain subject to the full jurisdiction of the U.S. military and under the direct control of the U.S. chain of command regardless of where they go.

You clearly have a serious problem when it comes to language comprehension.

First, the term "jurisdiction" in the Fourteenth Amendment refers specifically to the person born. Not their parents. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..."

Second, in order to be anything other than a naturalized citizen, you must have been born IN the United States. If you were born outside the United States, then any issue with regard to jurisdiction is moot. Because if you weren't born in the United States, you can't be anything other than a naturalized citizen if you're a citizen at all.

I guess there must be an awful lot of lawmakers on Capitol Hill that suffer from the same "comprehension" problem.

That Senate resolution declaring McCain to be a natural born citizen was passed by unanimous consent (including everyone on the Judiciary Committee). So everyone there on both sides of the political divide agreed that McCain was a citizen by birth, -at the very least. Even Obama himself served as a co-sponsor of the resolution.

Looks like they fully agreed with the arguments made by Tribe and Olson. So, no, you don't necessarily have to be born inside the United States to acquire citizenship at birth.
