I don't see it as an issue, it is clear as day that the requirement is the parents be citizens - parents, plural. It is you who is constructing a case based on the complete misinterpretation or disregard of the requirements. If you can't see that the law requires both parents - plural - to be citizens - and subordinate - the father must have also lived in the states then nothing anyone can say will convince you of that.
Your own quotes from the law show you wrong and you twist them to suit your purposes.
