Hail to the Chief?

Since Mädchen was born overseas, I've been under the impression that under Article II of the U.S. Constitution she could never be President (not that I would ever wish being President on her since I can't imagine a worse job, but still I'd hate to see a door already closed to her on the basis of her birth):

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President..."

This was in the news a few years ago when supporters of Arnold Schwarzenegger got it in their heads to amend the Constitution to allow him to someday run for President.

Well, as it turns out, there is reason to believe that a child born overseas to U.S. parents can be considered a "natural born Citizen", and therefore still someday be President, as evidenced by John McCain being born to U.S. citizens in Panama. And for the record, Mädchen doesn't have dual citizenship...you don't even have that option if you're not Swiss citizens yourself and your baby is born there. I sort of wish she at least had the option in case she ever wanted to get a job in Europe--but then again, since she's only 20 months old it's probably a bit soon to be thinking about her future employment opportunities...
