Article II, Section 1, Clause V (mentioned above) does NOT state that you have to be born on U.S. soil. It only states that you must be "a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States..." This means that if your parents are/were U.S. citizens and you were born abroad, you are still eligible to become the U.S. president.
