t 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

Whereas....citizen parents...military...therefore Natural Born citizen.

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.

Never had a simple logic class?

I won't bother to respond to your insults by insulting you. I regard your insults as an admission that you have run out of arguments. Since you have no arguments left I have no further interest in anything you have to say.

However, for your edification I post the following link to the U.S. Statute which covers the citizenship of children born to American citizens in the Canal Zone. Note that it requires only one parent to be an American citizen in order to confer American citizenship on the child. Since no one contends that the Obamanation was born in the Canal Zone it has no application to him and is totally irrelevant to his situation.
