I have a different question, inspired by reading the discussion. If some foreign couple (let's say Frenchmen, for the heck of it) come here as tourists and the woman gives birth over here before returning, is the child a US citizen and thus able to run for President? Does it matter if s/he doesn't come back to the US until age 35 or so and only then so s/he can run? Just wondering.

1. Yes, the baby is a US citizen.
2. There are residency requirements.

Does he have dual US and Panamanian Citizenship, though?

Panama does observe jus soli, but it doesn't matter, since the Canal Zone was not part of Panama.
