Actually, both parents have to be U.S. citizens for the child to be a citizen by birth.

If only one parent is a U.S. citizen, then that parent must show that he or she lived in the U.S. for at least ten years prior to the child’s birth, with at least five of those years after the age of 14.

Not if the birth is in the US.
