You’re new here. The Birthers invented a make-believe requirement found nowhere in the Constitution that “Natural Born” is defined as being born on U.S. soil to parents who were both American citizens.

Since Obama’s father is Kenyan, he is not “Natural Born” according to Birther mythology.
+++++++++++++

What is a natural born citizen of the United States (and please refer to SCOTUS case law)?

It’s certainly no mythology that NBC is a US Constitutional requirement for holding the office of the POTUS.

There is no SCOTUS case law because ther has never been a case like this in that court. There are hundreds of quo warranto cases that are not all that substantially different from this one.

If you were to read the DoJ argument against the use of quo warranto in this instance, you would see they cited just one case that really has nothing to do with the facts of this case. All it did was cite that jurisdiction for quo warranto within the District of Columbia lies in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In other words, the DoJ has no argument that quo warranto is not appropriate.

Born on US soil is all it takes, by virtue of the fact that a native born citizen with a foreign parent is currently serving as President of the United States, sworn into office by the highest court in the land.

Don't like my answer? Take it up with Chief Justice John Roberts. He seemed to have no objection towards personally administering the Oath of Office.
