Yes. The requirement stated in the US Constitution is that the president must be a "natural born citizen" . The exact meaning of this phrase has never been tested or defined by the courts. It is usually assumed to include people born outside the US on US military bases or other US owned territory, as well as all children of two US citizens who live outside the US.
