According to U.S. law there are
2 ways a
person can be considered a natural born citizen:
1. Law of the soil
Anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically considered a natural born citizen no matter where their
parents were from and even if their
parents were in the country illegally.
2. Law of the blood
If a
person has at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen they are automatically considered a natural born citizen no matter where they are born.

John McCain was born in Panama but his
parents were U.S. citizens so McCain is a natural born citizen by law of the blood. Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii so he is a natural born citizen by law of the soil. Even if Obama had been born in Kenya or some other country as the birther morons have alleged his mother was a U.S. citizen so he would still be a natural born citizen by law of the blood.
