It says plural parents. It says that because that is the fact situation with Sen. McCain. It does not say anywhere that one American parent would not be sufficient. It also does not apply to Obama, since no one says he was born in the Canal Zone. If anyone wishes to read more into the resolution (which by the way is of doubtful legal validity anyway) more than the actual words say, that is their lookout.

The "military" in effect substitutes for "born in the country" in the definition of "Natural Born Citizen" well known to the founders, and that exception was also known to them.
