I agree with you. That would mean every child not born in the 48 Contiguous States or Alaska or Hawaii, is now not considered a natural born citizen. So, children of military members born overseas are not natural born citizens ... yet Mexican children born in the US would be (having dual citizenship).
I think not. The courts would throw it out, even a Clinton appointee. That would throw into doubt thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of children and adults now residing in the states or elsewhere, not just McCain. That would be a political death-keel to the Dems.

Current State Department policy reads: "Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth." interesting

Don’t forget everyone born in Alaska and Hawaii prior to their entries in 1959.
