Supreme Court cases that cite “natural born Citizen” as one born on U.S. soil to citizen parents:

The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253 253 (1814)

Vattel, who, though not very full to this point, is more explicit and more satisfactory on it than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, says: “The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.

Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 242 242 (1830)

Ann Scott was born in South Carolina before the American revolution, and her father adhered to the American cause and remained and was at his death a citizen of South Carolina. There is no dispute that his daughter Ann, at the time of the Revolution and afterwards, remained in South Carolina until December, 1782. Whether she was of age during this time does not appear. If she was, then her birth and residence might be deemed to constitute her by election a citizen of South Carolina. If she was not of age, then she might well be deemed under the circumstances of this case to hold the citizenship of her father, for children born in a country, continuing while under age in the family of the father, partake of his national character as a citizen of that country. Her citizenship, then, being prima facie established, and indeed this is admitted in the pleadings, has it ever been lost, or was it lost before the death of her father, so that the estate in question was, upon the descent cast, incapable of vesting in her? Upon the facts stated, it appears to us that it was not lost and that she was capable of taking it at the time of the descent cast.

Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857)

The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As society cannot perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their parents, and succeed to all their rights.' Again: 'I say, to be of the country, it is necessary to be born of a person who is a citizen; for if he be born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country. . . .

Minor v. Happersett , 88 U.S. 162 (1875)

The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. 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.

United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 (1939),

Was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that a child born in the United States to naturalized parents on U.S. soil is a natural born citizen and that the child's natural born citizenship is not lost if the child is taken to and raised in the country of the parents' origin, provided that upon attaining the age of majority, the child elects to retain U.S. citizenship "and to return to the United States to assume its duties." Not only did the court rule that she did not lose her native born Citizenship but it upheld the lower courts decision that she is a "natural born Citizen of the United States" because she was born in the USA to two naturalized U.S. Citizens.

But the Secretary of State, according to the allegation of the bill of complaint, had refused to issue a passport to Miss Elg 'solely on the ground that she had lost her native born American citizenship.' The court below, properly recognizing the existence of an actual controversy with the defendants [307 U.S. 325, 350] (Aetna Life Ins. Co. v. Haworth, 300 U.S. 227 , 57 S.Ct. 461, 108 A.L.R. 1000), declared Miss Elg 'to be a natural born citizen of the United States' (99 F.2d 414) and we think that the decree should include the Secretary of State as well as the other defendants. The decree in that sense would in no way interfere with the exercise of the Secretary's discretion with respect to the issue of a passport but would simply preclude the denial of a passport on the sole ground that Miss Elg had lost her American citizenship."

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

Maybe by using two Bibles, some of the truth contained within will pass through his shields and change his heart?

The Con Man’s creed , “I'd swear on a stack of Bibles while standing on my mother's grave”

Do two Bibles qualify as a stack?

One is called the “Quran”. What is the other one called - “Rules for Radicals”?

It doesn’t make any difference to him...in my opinion, for him to swear on the Bible means as much to him as a copy of Playboy or Hustler would mean to me..

"... not on a single Bible, but two -- one owned by Martin Luther King Jr. and one by Abraham Lincoln."

Both Republicans, the party of anti-racism.

My guess is he wants to send a strong message to Jesus; it’s no longer enough to insult Him just once...

Obama is such a liar, I was thinking it would be better if he swore on a copy of Monica Lewinsky’s stained by the “Father of the Year” - Slick Willie Clinton.

There is so much comedy here. We’re at the point where life is getting so bizarre and unreal with the low levels these cretins stoop to.

Maybe he should crack the Bible open and read one.

I read somewhere one pastor had to quit as the liberal/commies found a twenty year old sermon in which he was anti-homosexual. That would have been a good thing and still is, but alas, not POLITICALLY CORRECT. Our nations is being destroyed by sodomizers, environ-mentalists, islamic infidelaphobes and politically correct social justice hogwash.

Will we start organizing and going against the tyranny any time soon or will we be obsequious and allow the coup, the tyranny to continue until the constitution and all of America is "fundamentally changed," for good?

What a hypocritical bullshi**er. obunga is actually funny on this one, a laughing stock to those who know that obunga loves and believes in no one else but HIMSELF. Someone should ask him who the hack is that is in charge of supplying him with the “props” for his various “photo-op” shams, like his “inauguration” for instance...”president” to his hack followers, and to no one else.

If I have the opportunity to express my reaction to obunga’s blasphemous use of the Bible in his sham photo-op/”inauguration”, I will only laugh at the faker-in-chief and then explain WHY.
