Since "children" is plural, a plural "modifier" such as "parents" does not imply or require that more than one parent for each child be a citizen.
Simple English.
But of course, we all know it doesn't matter since the Minor decision explicitly refused to define natural born citizen.
Nice try at a poor excuse. When you are talking about a singular parent, the proper word to use is PARENT not PARENTS. Any middle schooler knows this.
Here is something you should be interested in. And this completely explains why you guys are trying so hard to use the Minor vs.Harpersett case. The information of that case has been tampered with prior to the 2008 elections to make it fit Obama.

Any third-grader knows that when you are talking about children with multiple parents, you have to use the word "parents". The Supreme Court justice actually has a mastery of English, but you don't.
Yeah, in your mind, that's what it meant. Show me where he explained that in his statement.
The reality of it, is that he meant TWO parents as the use of the plural word PARENTS demonstrates. If he meant ONE parent, he would have said PARENT. It doesn't get any more basic than that.
The reality is that it wasn't an exclusive statement so it doesn't matter if he used plural or singular

What are you talking about? The staement wasn't about multiple parents. Try and keep up, it was about a SINGLE PARENT! Do you even know what you are responding to? So, if you are saying that the statement WAS about multiple CITIZEN parents, then Obama is not eligible right?
June 18th, 1787 - Alexander Hamilton suggests that the requirement be added, as: "No person shall be eligible to the office of President of the United States unless he be now a Citizen of one of the States, or hereafter be born a Citizen of the United States."
July 25, 1787 - John Jay writes a letter to General Washington (president of the Constitutional Convention): "Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen."
September 2nd, 1787 George Washington pens a letter to John Jay. The last line reads: "I thank you for the hints contained in your letter"
September 4th, 1787 The "Natural Born Citizen" requirement is now found in their drafts.

Some say that my state has a enormous burden with educating the USA citizen children of undocumented workers (anchor babies). If one had to have two natural born parents to be a citizen, Texas would have kicked every child of alien parents out of school, no reduced or free lunch and no CHIPS. In a New York minute.
