Wrong. Minor didn’t TRY to deal with NBC, because that wasn’t an issue.

WKA did deal with the issue, and as you point out, decided that a person born with two alien parents is indeed a natural born citizen, and thus a citizen. They used the same argument as was used in the case I cited from 1844 (and which they cited with approval).

The 1844 case goes into greater detail, showing the colonies that used natural born subject in their laws prior to the Revolution changed them to natural born citizen after the Revolution, and thus the meaning of NBS carries over into the meaning of NBC.

So why were you saying in your original reply that I was wrong? I only have one alien parent who was born in the Philippines when it was an American territory.
