the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States

Your own quote denies your position.

The father has to be a citizen AND a resident of the US. In other words, your father could be a US citizen, but never have lived here.

No there is no requirement for the father to be a citizen. Only that the child be decent from a citizen.
