Birthers are back

Seems neither of Kamala's parents were born in the USA. She is not eligible. Not a natural born citizen under the actual rule of law but since Obama anything goes!

They don't need to be born in the US, they need to be US citizen at the time of her birth.

Look up natural born citizen. That ain't what it is!

I read that op/ed, and I enjoyed the esoteric legal argument made.

It's a complete non-issue however. No point in chasing that laser pointer.

Having citizen parents counts. Non citizen parents not so much. But hey for the dems anyway to cheat is the right way.

Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.

Yes not natural born.

Minor vs. Happersett paragraph 9 is the only time the supreme court considered who was a natural born citizen.
