Someone needs to inform Mark Herron that the ONLY Supreme Court legal precedent for natural-born citizenship inherently precludes Obama from being Constitutionally eligible for office: all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens. The Minor decision was cited as the primary legal precedent, not Wong Kim Ark's definition of 14th amendment birth citizenship, in Luria v. United States some 15 years AFTER Wong Kim Ark was decided:

Yes.

And from the article:

Obama administration lawyer Mark Herron calls that ridiculous. He says nowhere in the Constitution does it say a 'natural born citizen' has to have American-born parents.

It also doesn't say abortion or ObamaCare is a right too. Herron lives up to his name as in Red Herr[on]ing. In his final statement to the judge, he said, you can ignore the old "treatise" and to similar effect.

Translation- judge ignore all the Supreme Court opinions.

Herron is right...natural born citizen doesn’t mean your parents have to be born here. Look how he twisted it to mean more...the parents have to be Citizens...doesn’t matter where they were born...

If you are insinuating that Herron is lying, then explain to me where exactly in the Constitution DOES it say that?
