Reading the relevant cites and court cases would alleviate that severe problem. Both parents must be citizens in order for their children to have natural-born citizen status. The citizenship of those parents can be acquired in any of the ways available to do so, including naturalization. But, they must both be citizens.

Futhermore, such children must be born in the United States for natural-born status without a doubt. See dicta from Minor v. Happersett for relevant information speaking directly to this.

It's really not that murky or difficult, unless one wants it to be for whatever reason, usually cheap labor on the right and transnational poppycock on the left.
