Yes. All legal authorities agree on this. There is an open question of whether a child of citizens NOT born on U.S. soil is also a natural born citizen, but no disagreement about this aspect of it.

First, there is no category of "native" born citizens. The Constitution refers to "natural" born citizens.

What is the citizenship requirement of the vice president?
The citizenship requirements for Vice President are the same as for President; he or she must be a citizen of the USA and a "natural-born" citizen. The Constitution doesn't actually define what that means but Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"Anyone born inside the United States *Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribeAny one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. nationalAny one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one yearAny one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.* There is an exception in the law - the person must be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.

Can a US Citizen run for President if heshe is a registered Citizen of a foreign country?
If you were born here, you are a citizen by right of birth. So, you are eligible to be president. 6 previous US Presidents had foreign born parents. Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) is the only president born of two immigrants, both Irish. Presidents with one immigrant parent are Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), whose mother was born in England, James Buchanan (1857-1861) and Chester Arthur (1881-1885), both of whom had Irish fathers, and Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) and Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), whose mothers were born respectively in England and Canada. Obama will be the 7th US President with at least one foreign born President, since his father was a Kenyan native. His mother was born in Kansas. On a side note, you do not have to be born in the US to be a "natural born citizen" which is one of the requirements to become president per the constitution. John McCain was born in the foreign nation of Panama. But, since his parents were US Citizens, he automatically became a citizen at birth. He was "naturally born" a US citizen and is thus eligible to hold the office of President. Also, recent arguments that due to Obama's father not being a naturalized citizen he is ineligible to serve are moot, as are even claims that he was born in other countries, i.e. Kenya, as a part of the Constitution states that even if one parent is an alien, as long as the other is a U.S. citizen that has lived for at least 5 years in the U.S.A., then regardless of where that person is born, they are considered a U.S. citizen until alternate citizenship status is obtained.
