Natural Born?

Interesting: Complaint seeks clarification on McCain's status as a "natural born" citizen, since he was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Those of us who were born outside the U.S. would love to have this one nailed down...

Barack Obama is co-sponsoring legislation to legally declare that children born overseas of active-duty military parents would be considered "natural born".

That would settle the issue for me - I was born in Germany while my father was in the Air Force. But maybe it should be more broad?
