“You’ve been shown the evidence that he was indeed born on the Coco Solo naval base. Why do you insist on repeating that falsehood?”

What evidencs? You show ME the evidence.

Because you are so dang dumb, his Certificate of Live Birth issued by the Canal Zone, which is not the same as a birth certificate, states he was born in Colon, Republic of Panama. But then, you have trouble reading.

“Where “all of us kids” born of a parent who was in the US military?”

Again, for the millionth time, there were no hospitals on military bases at that time.

If they were born on the Pacific side, they were born in Gorgas Hospital, Canal Zone. If they were born on the Atlantic side, they were born in a Panamanian hospital, Republic of Panama.

Had there been hospitals on military installations, they would have still been born in the Canal Zone since military installations were located in the Canal Zone.

You know NOTHING, ZERO, about the Canal Zone and Panama. So shut up.

At the very least, borrow a brain.

I’m not challenging you, I’m just curious as to your reaction to factcheck.org’s entry on McCain’s status:
“John McCain’s father was an admiral in the U.S. Navy who was stationed in Panama in 1936, when McCain was born. This has led to speculation as to whether McCain is a U.S. citizen and whether he can be elected president, a question that was raised during McCain’s run for the Republican nomination in 2000 as well.

Section 1, Article II of the U.S. Constitution states:

Article II: ‘No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.’

But McCain is a natural-born citizen, even though he was not born within this country’s borders, since his parents were citizens at the time of his birth. As a congressional act stated in 1790. Congress: ‘And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens.’

Another congressional act in 1795 issued a similar assurance, though it changed the language from ‘natural born citizen’ to ‘citizen.’

But the State Department clarifies the issue, saying that the 1790 language is honored under section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.”

In a 2009 lawsuit challenging both John McCain’s and Barack Obama’s right to receive Indiana’s electoral votes, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that both McCain and Obama qualify as natural born citizens and both were entitled to receive the votes of Indiana electors. The lawsuit was “Ankeny et. al. v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels.” The decision was appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court which refused to review the appeals court’s decision.
