Both my daughters were born in Germany, and their mother is German. I called the US embassy immediately and asked what I had to do to ensure they got US citizenship as well. I got all the documents they required, and was at the embassy within days. In less than an hour, in each case, I walked out with their US birth certificates, US passports and Social Security numbers.
I hold only US citizenship, so that part was not in dispute, and the fact that their mother was German didn't even raise an eyebrow. I guess a few decades of US personnel being stationed in Germany made that part seem pretty much routine. So far, they have retained their dual citizenship with no problem (they do not intend to run for office anywhere). It has proved a huge boon, as one now lives and works in the USA and the other lives and works in Germany. No problem with residence or working permits. If either one decides to run for president, I'll let you know. Don't hold your breath, though. They're pretty happy doin' their thing.
