The "natural born" clause means that if they were born on U.S. owned soil, they're eligible for the Presidency. Any territory that is American controlled at the time of that person's birth would make said person eligible in terms of the "natural born" clause.

"Natural-born citizen" includes an American born to citizen parents who recognize the child as theirs. One citizen parent would be adequate (thus even if Barack Obama had been born in Kenya he would be eligible for the Presidency).
