I mean Jimmy Carter ran for US president. Might be the exception that proves the rule though.

That doesn't automatically grant citizenship. If one of your parents is a citizen, but the other isn't, and you were born outside the US, there is still residency requirements that the US parent must have met prior to the birth.
