If it is within 3 miles of the U.S. shoreline, then the child would be a U.S. citizen. If it is more than that, then the child is not.

Is a person born on a flagged us ship a natural born citizen?

Although the U. S. Constitution does not define natural born citizen, the Congressional Research Service has found numerous historical and legal writings that indicate that a natural born citizen is anyone who legally and Constitutionally qualifies as a U. S. citizen at the time of birth, including those who are born abroad to U. S. citizens and those born in the U. S. to foreign parents. Therefore, someone born on any ship is a U. S. citizen if his/her parents are. If the parents are not U. S. citizens, he/she is a citizen if the ship is within U. S. territorial waters at the time of birth. However, a person born on a flagged U. S. ship in international or foreign waters is not a U. S. citizen if neither of his/her parents is a U. S. citizen.

What would happen if Chester Arthur was a Canadian?

He wouldn't have been president of the United States, for one thing--only a natural-born citizen of the United States can be that. "Natural born citizen" doesn't mean you have to be born within the territorial limits of the US. If your parents were in the Army and were stationed in Italy, and you were born in an Italian hospital, you're considered natural born because both your parents were US citizens.

Is it required if you were born in the US to be a citizin?

Pretty much. Let's say your parents are in the military and you are born overseas you would still be a citizen. If one of your parents was born in another country and the other was a US citizen then you would have dual citizenship and when you are older you can choose which country you want to be a citizen of. If both of your parents are foregin born, but you were born here then you are a citizen. If your parents and you came to the United States from some where else you wouldn't be a citizen.
