Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

I found it on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services page. Specifically, Chapter 3 - U.S. Citizens at Birth (NA 301 and 309), B3.

The law in effect at the time of birth determines whether someone born outside the United States to a U.S. citizen parent (or parents) is a U.S. citizen at birth. In general, these laws require that at least one parent was a U.S. citizen, and the U.S. citizen parent had lived in the United States for a period of time.
