…”professor at the University of Arizona has concluded that neither Mr. McCain’s birth in 1936 in the Panama Canal Zone nor the fact that his parents were American citizens is enough to satisfy the constitutional requirement…”

David,

Take a good look at McCains birth certificate.

He was not born in the Canal Zone, U.S. Territory.

He was born in Colón, Republic Panama, a foreign country.

Can’t these “professors” read?

After he was born in Colón, Republic Panama, on 29 August, his birth was “registered” (a key word) at Balboa Heights, Canal Zone, on 10 September 1936.

This involved taking John’s Panamanian birth certificate and presenting it at the registrars office of vital statistics in the Canal Zone.

This would also require the parents to prove who they were.

They never registered John in the Republic of Panama in El Registro Publico (The Public Registry). They just bypassed it and left for the U.S.

Just because he was not registered with the Panamanian Government, does not make him less of a Panamanian. He still is one.

Solid proof of this is shown in the Certificate of Live Birth issued by the Canal Zone. It states born in “Colon.”

There was no hospital in Coco Solo, Canal Zone, at that time. It was built in ‘41-’42 long after he was born and gone.

There is nothing difficult to understand about this.

He was born a Panamanian citizen.

Crumbs!!! I know this inside out and outside in.

I live in Panama and have personally worked with this very problem. A lot of folks never registered their birth in Panama before they left for the States, and now want their official Panamanian documents. I tell them what they need and what to do.

Regards.

I was just quoting what the article said--I knew because Gatun has provided me with complete information on the subject for some time that McCain was born outside the zone.

There was no hospital in Coco Solo, Canal Zone, at that time.

(1)Not everyone was born in a hospital, especially in 1936.
(2)Turns out there was a small hospital facility at Coco Solo, and that JMC's birth certificate was signed by a UN Navy physician/officer.

Take a good look at McCains birth certificate.

I'd love to. Anyone have a link?
