“And think about it for a moment — if you follow their stupid argument, babies born of American citizens serving abroad in our military would be non-naturalized citizens ineligible to run for president.”
Just as Obama wasn’t, McCain was also never POTUS eligible (there was a Mutually Assured Destruction policy in place with respect to both major political parties at the time on the NBC issue), He was flat out born in a municipal hospital in the nearby port city in Panama. There were no medical facilities or hospitals on any U.S. military facilities in or near the Panama Canal Zone at the time of his birth set up to receive pregnant women and deliver their babies. Regardless, he would have failed the Born on U.S. Soil requirement of the NBC test whether he were born on a U.S. military base, born in the PCZ, or otherwise. We weren’t at war in the region (invading army exception) and his father wasn’t a U.S. Ambassador (diplomatic exception).
He was born at Coco solo naval base. I've seen the doctor's signature on an admission page for his mother. Somewhere back in all the stuff i've written is links to that information.
There is a fake McCain birth certificate floating around, and it has been tracked back to the origin certificate it was photoshopped from. McCain did show his actual birth certificate to a reporter, and the reporter stated he had seen it, but McCain never released it to the public.
And I don't like John McCain and wish I had never voted for that greasy back stabber, but the issue with him was never where he was born.
