There is evidence available, for what it may be worth, that he was not born in the Panama Canal Zone..

Yes ... the McCain Birth Certificate; this is the kind of document we want to see for Obama but have never been shown. Thanks for posting it.

I looked at it and noticed that it states that McCain was born at Colon Hospital. Setting aside that I know something of the history of the US presence in Panama, from just looking at a Map of the historic "Panama Canal Zone" it is CLEAR that Colon was WITHIN the Zone, as was Colon Hospital.

Hence, McCain was born on US Territory, under US Jurisdiction, the son of two US Citizens, and is therefore a native born US Citizen.

Donofrio contends that McCain obtained his citizenship at birth - not from the Constitution, but from a federal statute. He further says that because McCain was not born on US soil - the Panama Canal Zone never was considered US soil - he is not a natural born citizen.
