McCain had the additional claim to being a natural born citizen because the Panama Canal Zone was a U.S. Territory when he was born.

Even if that were true, the Canal Zone is not the same as the U.S. If a Panamanian national, for example, gave birth to a baby in the Canal Zone that child would not have been a U.S. citizen. If she have given birth in New York City then the child would.

McCain was not born in The Canal Zone. He was born on August 29, 1936 in the Colón Hospital in Colón, Republic of Panama.

McCain was not born in The Canal Zone. He was born on August 29, 1936 in the Colón Hospital in Colón, Republic of Panama.

McCain (and his mother) say he was born in the family hospital at the Coco Solo Naval Air Station. Not at the Colon Hospital in Colon, Panama.

Are you calling McCain and his mother liars?
