No, actually the definition that Minor used is self-limiting. "These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners." The only way to resolve doubt about the citizenship of those who are born in the country to anyone but citizens is to rely on statutory or Constitutional declarations, such as how Gray had to figure out how to satisfy the subject clause requirement in the Wong Kim Ark decision. Once you do that, you're getting out of the realm of natural citizenship, thus anyone not born to citizen parents is NOT a natural-born citizen.

No. It states that but then proceeds to say that there are questions as to whether one born in the US but of non-citizens is natural born. It ultimately doesn’t resolve that issue but only says there is less support for it. It merely states that it is unquestionable that US born children of US citizens are natural born (they also qualify as native born) but some have questioned whether one who is born in the US but not of citizens is natural born. It doesn’t say one way or the other on the issue just that some have argued over it and thus is it is less established or clear than if both requirements were met. And again, this is just dicta anyway.
