You clearly have a serious problem when it comes to language comprehension.

I guess there must be an awful lot of lawmakers on Capitol Hill that suffer from the same "comprehension" problem.

That Senate resolution declaring McCain to be a natural born citizen was passed by unanimous consent (including everyone on the Judiciary Committee). So everyone there on both sides of the political divide agreed that McCain was a citizen by birth, -at the very least. Even Obama himself served as a co-sponsor of the resolution.

Looks like they fully agreed with the arguments made by Tribe and Olson. So, no, you don't necessarily have to be born inside the United States to acquire citizenship at birth.

Nice how you weasel out of the original context of that comment.

As for the lawmakers on Capitol Hill, are you kidding me? I wouldn't give you two cents for the lot of 'em. You'd think their only job was to keep the Government Printing Office in business, printing fatter and fatter budgets and fatter and fatter tax codes.

That Senate resolution declaring McCain to be a natural born citizen was passed by unanimous consent (including everyone on the Judiciary Committee).

First, it was just a simple resolution, which had absolutely no force of law. Second, did you ever actually read it? You'd think they had never even heard of the Fourteenth Amendment. They weaseled around it just like you have weaseled around your claim that the US military was some sort of extra-constitutional entity, operating wholly outside the Constitution itself.
