“Mark Levin is a constitutional lawyer and he isn’t touching this. “
(page 246)
And the constitution itself contains a direct recognition of the subsisting common law principle, in the section which defines the qualification of the President. “No person except a natural bom citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President,” &c. The only standard which then existed, of a natural born citizen, was the rule of the common law, and no different standard has been adopted since. Suppose a person should be elected President who was native born, but of alien parents, could there be any reasonable doubt that he was eligible under the constitution? I think not.
(pg 250)
6. Upon principle, therefore, I can entertain no doubt, but that by the law of the United States, every person born within the dominions and allegiance of the United States States, whatever were the situation of his parents, is a natural born citizen.

As early as 1844, courts were deciding the evidence showed you could have alien parents and still be a natural born citizen. Levin knows this. Birthers do not.
“The only standard which then existed, of a natural born citizen, was the rule of the common law, and no different standard has been adopted since”
FALSE
The U.S Constitution for one.
Levin? You mean like Obama is a constitutional lawyer? Should we just believe Obama then?
There have been case after case presented here that parents DO MATTER. I can't remember them all off hand. Search on FR or google Leo Donofrio, he knows more about this subject than any other lawyer, certainly more than Levin, sheesh.
