He wasn't born in on a US military base, nor in the Canal Zone:
Place of birth?
Colón PANAMA
Colón, PANAMA, not Colón Canal Zone. PANAMA
Colón isn't part of the Canal Zone.
It is a separate district and provence, a district and provence of the country of Panama.
Much like West Berlin never belonged to East Germany.
OF COURSE McCAIN IS AN AMERICAN. No question of that, he is an American. PERIOD!
Is he a 'natural born citizen'? I don't know, and neither do you! The constitutional term 'natural born citizen' has never been clearly defined. Laws have been passed since 1790 in a attempt to clarify the rules of citizenship. Laws that overlap, contradict and are or aren't retroactive. The Supreme court has not ruled on whether natural born follows jus soli - birth on US territory, or jus sanguinus - birth to US blood. Until that point is defined neither of us has so much as a narrow reed to cling to.
Is this a sleeper-troll account?
Yes. Shhhhhhh! I'm under deep cover, it took me 72,000 posts to get here!
Obama was born to muslims in Kenya, neither of which was over 18 and a citizen.
I don't know where he was born. I'd love to!
He wasn't born to muslims. Daddy was muslim, but mommy was an atheist. (Both part of the Satan side, IMHO).
Why do you hate my country and want an Indonesian to run it?
I don't. Although I am revolted by Obama, I am merely unenthused about McCain.
SELLOUT
Nope. I just want the next president to be constitutionally qualified to hold the office.
LOL, IDK how long you have been in here but you are shilling for the LIBS right now.
This is why you are ignorant....meaning uninformed.
It’s not a slur, you just have to learn more.

Do you ever watch the news or actually read these articles?????
Place of birth?
Colón PANAMA
To be completely precise he was born on Coco Solo Naval Station (it's in the upper right corner of your pretty little map). At the time of McCain's birth, it was a US Naval submarine base and the duty station of McCain's father.
He was born in the military hospital on base. His birth certificate - just like mine, my kids', and probably even yours - records the city of birth, not the hospital of birth.
I just wanted to interject that small clarification - please carry on with your insightful commentary.
