The definition of NBC as offered by the SCOTUS in Minor v. Happersett is self-limiting ... “as distinguished from foreigners and aliens.” Even under the errant common-law theory of NBC, dual citizenship is precluded from the concept of natural born ... “And this maxim of the law proceeded upon a general principle, that every man owes natural allegiance where he is born, and cannot owe two such allegiances, or serve two masters, at once.”

Says who? Show me the part where it says persons born on U.S. soil to citizen parents and *only* such persons are NBCs. Or, failing that, show me where it says native born citizens are not NBCs. You can’t, because it doesn’t, because that was not at issue. Just so happens that native born citizens are also natural born citizens, because there is no such thing as a citizen from birth who is not a natural born citizen, since to be a natural born citizen means to be a citizen from birth.
