Sorry, but the Supreme Court affirmed that Minor was a precedent on presidential elgibility in Luria v. United States. Conspicuously absent is any mention of Wong Kim Ark, despite being only 15 years prior to the Luria decision.

Yes, but only to say, "Citizenship is membership in a political society, and implies a duty of allegiance on the part of the member and a duty of protection on the part of the society. These are reciprocal obligations, one being a compensation for the other. Under our Constitution, a naturalized citizen stands on an equal footing with the native citizen in all respects save that of eligibility to the Presidency."

So to say Luria in any way says that Minor backed up your completely bogus "definition" of natural born citizen is totally dishonest. It's absolute BS.

Conspicuously absent is any mention of Wong Kim Ark, despite being only 15 years prior to the Luria decision.

Gee... do ya think that might be because Luria didn't have to do with someone who was born a citizen in the United States, like Wong was, but who was a naturalized citizen?

Once again: Birther makes claims. Claims are total BS.

It's a very familiar two-step process.
