I never really thought of it that way. You have a good point there and might be on to something. I'm sure he was born in Hawaii I just have a hard time understanding what's so hard about showing his documents, but now it makes more sense. Pretty smart

McCain was born in a US Territory and was, thus, a citizen at birth.
D'oh.... Didn't you guys take American Government in high school?
As the title of the certificate indicates, only a person who qualifies as a non-citizen national (i.e. a person who is a U.S. national but not a U.S. citizen) is eligible to apply for such a certificate.
Very few persons fall within this category since, as defined by the INA, all U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals but only a relatively small number of persons acquire U.S. nationality without becoming U.S. citizens. Thus, Section 101(a)(22) INA states that all U.S. citizens are also nationals of the U.S. However, Section 308 INA confers U.S. nationality but not U.S. citizenship, on persons born in or having ties with "an outlying possession of the United States." The outlying possessions are defined in Section 101(A)(29) INA as American Samoa and Swains Island.

I wonder if McCain had been elected would there have been a stink raised about the fact that he was born in Panama? I know, I know, he was born on a military base. Nevertheless someone would have an "argument" why he isn't eligible for presidency.
c. Birth on U.S. Military Base Outside of the United States or Birth on U.S. Embassy or Consulate Premises Abroad:
(1) Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities abroad 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 born in the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth.
