"Under today”s laws, one American citizen parent who meets the residency requirement is enough"

That's simply a lie.

Congress has tried to change the "natural born Citizen" requirement, many times in recent years, to include those "citizens" born in foreign countries to be eligible. Their efforts have failed.

One example:

Constitutional amendment to allow foreign-born citizens to be president : hearing before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixth Congress, second session on H.J.Res. 88.
Published: Washington, D.C. : U.S. G.P.O. : 2000.

This show that Congress knows full well that "citizens" who are born in a foreign country are not "natural born Citizens," else there would be zero need for their efforts such as this.

I’m putting my money on the courts’ ruling that the following statute is definitive, just as there have been eighteen rulings that explicitedly state that Obama is a natural born citizen.

8 U.S.C. § 1401
“The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(g) a person born OUTSIDE the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents ONE OF WHOM IS AN ALIEN, and the OTHER A CITIZEN of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was PHYSICALLY PRESENT in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years...”


Purpura & Moran v. Obama: New Jersey Administrative Law Judge Jeff S. Masin: “No court, federal, state or administrative, has accepted the challengers’ position that Mr. Obama is not a “natural born citizen” due to the acknowledged fact that his father was born in Kenya and was a British citizen by virtue of the then applicable British Nationality Act. Nor has the fact that Obama had, or may have had, dual citizenship at the time of his birth and thereafter been held to deny him the status of natural born. It is unnecessary to reinvent the wheel here. … The petitioners’ legal position on this issue, however well intentioned, has no merit in law. Thus, accepting for the point of this issue that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, he is a ‘natural born Citizen’ regardless of the status of his father.” April 10, 2012
