Instead, they say there is doubt, with some saying that those born of alien parents are also NBC...

Materially incorrect.

"The doubt" was whether they were citizens at all - not whether they were natural born Citizens. These dance was done specific to avoid the "anchor baby" argument of the 14th. It is the "anchor baby" argument that is "in doubt" not whether this 'class' is a "citizen" or a "natural born Citizen".

I see, Mr Rogers, that you are at it again with your mischaracterization of Minor v Happersett. The judges said that some had doubt about whether children born of alien parents in the United States were citizens at all, not whether they could be "natural born citizens." If they were born under the jurisdiction of the Constitution to parents who were both citizens, they were natural-born citizens. If the parents were not citizens, there was doubt as to whether those so born were or were not citizens, but no doubt at all as to whether or not they were natural-born citizens.
