El Salvador also follow "jus soli". So the baby born in soil of El Salvador gains its citizenship by default.

Also, the baby will be US Citizen, since both parents are US Citizens.

(2) If you were born abroad to TWO U.S. citizens:

And at least one of your parents lived in the United States at some point in his or her life, then in most cases you are a U.S. citizen.

(3) If you were born abroad to ONE U.S. citizen:

In most cases, you are a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true:

• One of your parents was a U.S. citizen when you were born;

• Your citizen parent lived at least 5 years in the United States before you were born; and

• At least 2 of those 5 years in the United States were after your citizen parent’s 14th birthday

Your record of birth abroad, if registered with a U.S. consulate or embassy, is proof of your citizenship. You may also apply for a passport to have your citizenship recognized. If you need additional proof of your citizenship, you may file an “Application for Certificate of Citizenship” (Form N-600) with USCIS to get a Certificate of Citizenship. Call the USCIS Forms Line at 1-800-870-3676 to request Form N-600, or download the form at www.uscis.gov.

Answer 5

U.S. citizen. If one or both parents are citizens  the child is too, no matter where born. And unlikely that the child would be considered Salvadoran  by the E.S. government. Most countries do not gramnt citizenship just because you were born there. THe USA is an exception.
