A plural possessive question
I have a plural possessive question about this sentence.
"The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens."
It is written as plural but if you apply it to a singular native can they have a singular parent who is a citizen? If it had a plural possessive parents' then that would require both parents of one native to be citizens, correct?
