John McCain (born in Panama)......Ineligible as far as I know, Was he born on a military base? No one is sure. Last I read he was born in a hospital off the military base
Babies born to foreign diplomats stationed in the U.S. do not become U.S. citizens. The words of the Fourteenth Amendment, "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" do not apply to those in the U.S. with diplomatic immunity.
Similarly, at least some U.S. military stationed in foreign countries are there under the provisions of treaties with those countries and are not completely "subject to the jurisdiction" of those countries. Also, such people are perhaps completely "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S. government.
Thus it is completely possible that a child born to a U.S. military couple located in a foreign country does not gain the citizenship of that country. To suggest that such a child becomes a "stateless person" because of the location of his two U.S. citizen parents is, I think, a conclusion without merit.

I’m not entirely sure where exactly he was born, but I do recall that Congress looked into this in 2008 and determined that he was eligible. Of course, there was no curiosity about the eligibility of his opponent.
