The problem the nation faces is finding a court that will not be influenced by political considerations. I have argued elsewhere that I would rather have an apolitical U.S. History professor's opinion than that of the present USSC (who is one vote from castrating the 2nd Amendment.

Why not then consider the opinion of the United States very first historian.

"The citizenship of no man could be previous to the declaration of independence, and, as a natural right, belongs to none but those who have been born of citizens since the 4th of July, 1776."....David Ramsay, 1789.

A Dissertation on Manner of Acquiring Character & Privileges of Citizen of U.S.-by David Ramsay-1789

I like the excerpt you offer.

<.i>...those who have been born of citizens...

That certainly takes care of the two parent requirement. Of course, there are those who would prefer to add language such as, "or perhaps just one parent".

Recall the resolution pertaining to McCain. It also indicated "parents".

Have a nice day.
