<p>Not an expert on this, but I believe one must be born on American soil in order to be elected President. The term natural born seems to be problematic! </p>
<p>My brother was living/working in London when their son was born, employed by an American firm. Both parents are Americans. They were told at the embassy as they applied for the newborn’s passport that he couldn’t be President because he was born on American soil. This was said only in passing, but they have always assumed that to be true. I believe military installations, embassies, etc are considered American soil, but not the British hospital where nephew was born. This would seem to contradict the source noted above. </p>
<p>I also thought the fact that A. Schwarzenegger is a naturalized American citizen precluded his being elected to the presidency. Maybe I’m wrong…</p>
