McCain was not born in any of the 50 U.S. states. Rather, he was born on a military installation in the Canal Zone, where his mother and father, a Navy officer, were stationed. Thus, a question arises as to whether he is a "natural-born citizen." If he is not a "natural-born citizen", the Constitutuion may prevent him from obtaining the highest spot in the executive branch.
I believe that McCain's status will be protected as a "natural-born citizen," but I also believe that this may become a hotly contested issue in the very-near future. A little Goldwater-esque don't you think?
