Supreme Court of the US: US Citizen Born In Israel Cannot List It on His Birth Certificate. Palestinians As Usual Use This For Propaganda, Deceiving Their People

[From article]
Siding with the White House in a foreign-policy power struggle with Congress, the Supreme Court ruled Monday that Americans born in the disputed city of Jerusalem can't list Israel as their birthplace on passports.
In a 6-3 ruling, the court said Congress overstepped its bounds when it approved the passport law in 2002. The case mixed a dispute between Congress and the president with the thorny politics of the volatile Middle East.
The ruling ended a 12-year-old lawsuit by a Jerusalem-born American, Menachem Zivotofsky, and his U.S.-citizen parents.
The law the court struck down Monday would have forced the State Department to alter its long-standing policy of not listing Israel as the birthplace for Jerusalem-born Americans. The policy is part of the government's refusal to recognize any nation's sovereignty over Jerusalem until Israelis and Palestinians resolve its status through negotiations.
Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that the president has the exclusive power to recognize foreign nations, and that determining what a passport says is part of that power.

"It is a clear message to the Israeli government that its decisions and measures in occupying and annexing Jerusalem are illegal and void and that it should immediately stop these measures because it's a clear violation of the international law," Erekat said.

NOVEMBER 4, 2014 Zivotofsky v. Kerry Oral Argument
The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Zivotofsky v. Kerry. The case involves whether Congress has the power to pass a law requiring the State Department to record the birthplace of an American citizen born in “Jerusalem” as born in “Israel” on a U.S. passport, or if doing so infringes on presidential recognition power. In 2002, Congress enacted the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, which directs the secretary of State to record “Israel” as the place of birth on a passport of a U.S. citizen born in Jerusalem, if the citizen requests it. President George W. Bush signed the act but issued a signing statement noting that the provision interfered with the constitutional functions of the presidency in foreign affairs, and he did not enforce it.
