If either of your biological parents is an American citizen, you are automatically a natural born American citizen, regardless of where geographically you are born.
This is why Obama, McCain and Ted Cruz are eligible for the Presidency

The only complicated area in law is when only a single parent is a US citizen and the child is born overseas. This was a consequence of the 20th century reality that the US had vast numbers of military personnel stationed globally.
