You CAN get a passport if you are born in another country to TWO foreign parents, provided you become a naturalized citizen. That's my case. Now, if having a US passport is enough to qualify someone to run for president, I want to run in 2012! I feel I'm more of a patriot than many people in this thread.
But, I guess what I’m wondering is what would be the process for a baby born out of the country to an American mother? Would that child have to go thru the naturalization process? My sister was born in Germany but of course both my parents were American citizens. I do think I recall that she could have become (or retained?) a German citizen when she turned 18.
