No, a person must be a United States citizen at the time of their appointment to the Supreme Court. The Constitution requires that federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, be "nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate." Being born outside of the United States would disqualify someone from being eligible for appointment to the Supreme Court.
Two US Supreme Court justices were born in Iowa: Samuel Freeman Miller................1862 - 1890.........President Lincoln Wiley Blount Rutledge.................1943 - 1949.........President FD Roosevelt
Justice Fred VinsonCorrection:None of the US Supreme Court justices was born in jail. Chief Justice Fred Vinson was born in a house on the property of the Lawrence County Jail, in Louisa, Kentucky, where his father worked as the jailer. Neither of Vinson's parents was imprisoned, and the house was not technically in the jail.
He wasn't born in jail, but Chief Justice Fred Vinson was born in a building in front of the Lawrence County jail in Louisa, Kentucky. His father was the jailer there.
The Chief Just of the United States Supreme Court is currently John G Roberts. He has held that position since 2005. John Roberts was born in Buffalo New York in 1955 and is married with two children.
Unlike its requirement that the President be a "natural born" citizen, and the Senators and Representatives be at least "naturalized," the Constitution is silent on the citizenship and residency requirements for a Supreme Court Justice. Naturalized citizens are eligible to serve on the Court. In order to become a naturalized citizen, a person must be at least 18 years old and must have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least five years, or for three years, if married to and continuously living with a spouse who's an American citizen. A person voluntarily serving in the US military is eligible to apply for citizenship after one year of service, or within six month of being honorably discharged. Non-citizen residents of the United States may or may not be legally eligible for a position on the Court, but politically, the likelihood of a non-citizen being nominated or confirmed by the Senate is virtually nil.

No, this claim is a hoax. The matter is considered settled; the US Supreme Court justices will not hear further cases regarding the validity of Obama's citizenship.There have been dozens of cases filed against the President, and the federal courts have consistently held the claims were without merit.For more information, see Related Questions, below.Given that he was born in Honolulu, there is no 'Obama citizenship case.' The courts have consistently dismissed lawsuits on this issue.
New York.John Jay, first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was born in New York City in 1745. His family moved to Rye, New York, shortly after he was born.Jay served on the Supreme Court from 1789-1795, when he was elected Governor of his home state. President John Adams attempted to entice Jay back to the Court, but Jay refused, claiming the Court had little power or prestige. He had also complained about the circuit riding duties incumbent upon the justices at that time, and was reluctant to experience those conditions a second time.
