There are these ones too:
""Anyone born inside the United States. The person must be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. (This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.)"
"Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national"
Although I don't quite know what is the difference between US national and citizen.
In my country mother's nationality inherits, the father doesn't matter, unless he is the one with our citizenship and mother isn't.
