IINM,since the 1960’s, no law review article on Presidential eligiblity (Gordon, Lohman, Pryer, Medina) have cited Minor as precedent for NBC.
(@Gordon, @Lohman, @Pryer (sp), @Medina) Funny that, that you would specifically include only Democrats/liberals.

And the Ankeny Court specifically says Minor did not decide NBC.
Really? @Steve Ankeny and Bill Kruse v. Governor of the State of Indiana

12 Note that the Court in Minor contemplates only scenarios where both parents are either citizens or aliens, rather in the case of President Obama, whose mother was a U.S. citizen and father was a citizen of the United Kingdom.

Really? Where?

"In Minor, written only six years after the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified, the Court observed that:"

"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens..[skip]...For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts."

"Id. at 167-168. Thus, the Court left open the issue of whether a person who is born within the United States of alien parents is considered a natural born citizen.12"

Footnote 12 that you reference only states the obvious that in Minor, the Court didn't even consider the case of a child with one citizen parent.
