They just have to fill in the forms at the hospital.
By the way that is also how some diplomats do it, although they shouldn't be able to.

Can americans parents give citizenship to their children born outside the US?
Of course, so why can't you accept that other countries also allow this?

The opportunity, of course is there and all you have to do is fill out the forms but you can also notify your embassy and register the birth with them so that the child only has the citizenship of the parents native country.
From what I gather the child can even ask for their US citizenship when adults if they like. It isn't black and white but I'm not sure what that has to do with tribes.

So, does the law of the US give citizenship to children born to american citizens outside the US?
Why do you think that that wouldn't be the same for other countries. Then the question comes to one of multiple nationalities but I'm not sure what that has to do with tribes from Uganda.

If the other country doesn't allow it then the person must choose.
If you don't have to choose then the only reason not too would be .... can't think of anything.

The U.S. does not make or even allow parents to decide or renounce the U.S. citizenship of their children.

So how do the the Ugandan tribesmen appealing to 8 USC 1401 do it?

They can renounce when they are of age or can demonstrate they are of sound mind and renouncing on their own free will, if applicable; OR maybe they never acquired U.S. citizenship at birth because it would affect their right to tribal property.
