Rumors continued to persist about President Obama’s citizenship, despite Hawaii having issued a birth certificate in his name. The GOP opposition was so desperate in the 2008 election that they investigated his nationality without any satisfaction since the Hawaii Advertiser published the news of his birth. Verification of this rumor could have been a two-edged sword since John McCain was not born in the USA, but in Panama, although at a US Navy base.
The Canal Zone was once part of the USA.
No more, so John McCain is Panamanian by default.
It’s a small world after all.
