Not completely;y accurate... technically.
John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone (Coco Solo Naval Air Station), thus the arguments about his status. Congress eventually 'declared' him a Natural Born Citizen to end the debate.
If John McCain had been born in the Panama Canal Zone, it wouldn't have been an issue. He was born in a hospital outside of the Zone, because there was no hospital in the Zone, which is where the arguments come from.
He was born at the Coco Solo Naval Air Station.
Coco Solo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coco Solo was a United States Navy submarine base established in 1918 on the Atlantic Ocean (northwest) side of the Panama Canal Zone, near Colón, Panama.
United States Senator John McCain was born in 1936 at a small Navy hospital[1][2] at Coco Solo Naval Air Station.[3][4]

They wouldn't know truth if it smacked them upside the head. Sad really.
