What if a US citizen gives birth in a foreign country is the child a US citizen or a citizen of that country?
There are two effective ways to gain U.S. citizenship at birth: have either (or both) of the parents be U.S. citizens, or be born on designated incorporated U.S. sovereign territory. The first method is sufficient for citizenship according to current U.S. law (US Code Title 8, Section 1401), and the second method is proscribed according to the 14th Amendment. In both cases, the child qualifies as a "natual-born" citizen, and is eligible to run for the Presidency.
As the question stands, the answer is an obvious YES, as the mere fact that a parent was a U.S. citizen provides citizenship to the child, and the location of the birth is irrelevant.
On a related note, however, as foreign U.S. military bases are NOT considered sovereign U.S. territory (unlike U.S. Embassies which are, though Consular Offices are not), children born on-base are NOT eligible for automatic U.S. citizenship via the 14th Amendment. Thus, if a foreign worker gave birth at the U.S. base's hospital, the child would not be a U.S. citizen.

The child is an American citizen because he or she was born here. The foreign mother is not. Presumably this is because it would create an easy way to obtain citizenship if the government allowed foreign women to become citizens just because they gave birth in our country.

Only if the birth is registered in that country's U.S. embassy. If not, he can still be a citizen if father lived in the US a certain amount of years, and a certain amount of years past a specific age ( the actual years and age depends on the father's year of birth). If that fails,

This depends on a number of factors such as:Which country the birth occurred in?Nationality of the mother?Immigration status while in the country where the birth occurred?Does the mother want the child to have her citizenship?In the US for instance, the nationality of the mother and her married state have nothing to do with the child's nationality. The baby would be a US Citizen. However, the mother might decide to register the birth as a foreign birth abroad and not claim US citizenship for the child.Other countries like Germany make it very difficult to get citizenship even if the child was born in Germany.
