Can my best friend legally run for president?

She was born in Amsterdam to an American Air Force man serving abroad and his Japanese wife (who later became a US citizen). She was NOT born in a military hospital. She was born in a private, local hospital. (which, by the way, cost her dad only $25.00) I do know that she automatically had dual citizenship at the time of her birth, but her foreign citizenship was relinquished, wasn’t it, (?) when they moved back to the US permanently, when she and her mother were safe to do so. (She only weighed about a pound-and-a-half at birth, so they came over when she was about 3 or 4 months old.) So, doesn’t her US citizenship (by birthright) allow her to be president? Or, as her dad tells me, the very real estate, the actual terra firma she came out in, dictates that she is not allowed to be. Is this true?

Yes she could. Article II of the US Constitution states:

“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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

So now the question is: What is a natural born citizen? Title 8, Section 1401 of the US Code would conclude that yes, in fact she is a natural born citizen (assuming her father meets this condition):

“(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 288 of title 22 by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person
(A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or
(B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 288 of title 22, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date”
