The term is "totally irrelevant" as if you bothered to read the link you provided, you'd have seen this note:
Consular Reports of Birth are not available for persons born in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Panama Canal Zone before October 1, 1979, the Philippines before July 4, 1946, American Samoa, Guam, Swains Island, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the former U.S. Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands.I.e., the process you claim McCain had to follow to "become" a citizen didn't apply to him because he was born on U.S. territory.
