Frivolous and non-sensical.

McCain was born at the Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone, which was then Sovereign American territory. Both his father and grandfather were high-ranking Admirals in the U.S. Navy.

Don't these idiots bother to read U.S. law and history?

“McCain was born at the Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone”

I think the actual hospital was off-base in Panama proper, not the Zone. It does not matter, though, as long as his parents are both US citizens he could have been born in the Mars Colony.

Hey, maybe the judge will expand the suit to cover Obama, who had one underage citizen parent and a non-citizen parent?

This is where my wife tells me, “don’t give me that lawyer sh*t”, but technically, he wouldn’t have been born at Coco Solo because there wasn’t a hospital there. The US hospital was at Ancon, on the Pacific side, so he might have been born outside the CZ at a Panamanian hospital. Does that matter WRT having been born overseas to military parents? Probably not - my daughter was born at Gorgas Army Medical Center (Ancon Hospital) while I was assigned in Panama, and she has a “Certificate of Birth Abroad of United States Citizen” (which we guard with our lives, since you only get one and it’s an odyssey of epic proportions to get a copy from the State Department).
