2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Yeah he can...

if he was born on an army base, embassy or any other American government owned soil, then yes, he is an American.

The canal at that point was owned by the US.

It's not a completely off the wall question

The Constitution requires a President to be not just a citizen, but a ":natural born citizen". I do think McCain qualifies as a "natural born citizen" because by statute, he became an American citizen at birth and didn't have to go through the "naturalization" process. Mitt Romney's father (born in Mexico) and Barry Goldwater (born in pre-statehood Arizona) were the only other candidates not born in the United States other than the early Presidents who qualified under the citizens at the time of ratification exception.

You can't be serious? If

You can't be serious? If your parents are American or you were born in the country --- it's all you need.
