The Constitution says the Presidential requirements call for someone to be born in the United States.

Is this legal?

The Constitution says the Presidential requirements call for someone to be born in the United States.

Inaccurate.

The constitution specifies natural born citizen, and not born in the United States.

From: Article II

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
As the child of two U.S. citizens, McCain is considered a natural born citizen.

The 14th Amendment is irrelevant. It contains no exclusivity clause. It makes citizenship inclusive of anyone born in the U.S. and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, but does not exclude someone in the birth status of John McCain.

Panama WAS NOT a possession of the United States. The US paid Panama a rental fee to use the canal.

I agree with you on this one chan. The U.S code you sited is irrelevant though. The words of the constitution trump U.S. Code. Most U.S. Code is unconstitutional.
