“That statement demonstrates your inability to read and comprehend the Minor decision. “
Yes, well, MY interpretation is supported by every court in the country.
If you could read English, you would understand. You can’t, and thus you are a birther.
But for any lurkers, here is what Minor said:
“At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their [p168] parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.”

Oh golly, There I go again - pulling Minor without using justica!
We know where you pull most of your material from and it stinks....
May I recommend that you read your quote as ending at the second sentence. That, of course, is because the language that follows those first two sentences pertains with ordinary citizenship and not NBC.
The only relevance or value of that following language are the words, “...but never as to the first” (referring to NBC).
So, a reader can logically conclude with such language that the court confirmed the meaning of the NBC term, as the framers used that term in the Consitution, as being of no doubt.
Have a nice day.
