OMG, would you Vattle Birthers please stop giving this bad and false legal advice to everybody here??? Anybody who can read the ENGLISH LANGUAGE can see the Minor judges did not say any such thing. Here is a court that even says they didn't:

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 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. 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.

Squeeky, that case is from the Court of Appeals in Indiana.

You may certainly take the stance that the US Supreme Court case re: Minor does not define “natural born citizen.” And I would argue the exact opposite.

But using an Indiana case to prove your point is weak.
