Re: "So Chin seems to be saying if McCain was born on the moon that he would be a natural born US citizen, because the moon was beyond the limits and jurisdiction of the US, but since Panama was only beyond the limits but not beyond the jurisdiction, the previous law did not apply." No. You misunderstood his argument. He never said (that someone born under such circumstances - such as the 'on the Moon' that you posit) would be "NATURAL BORN". Well then he would seem to be ignoring both the law at the time of McCain's birth and the retroactive law passed about a year later.
