Except Harris is not a natural born citizen. So who'd move in?
-
She was born in Oakland.
-
To two non citizen foreign born parents. They have since become citizens but she is not a natural born citizen. Neither was Obunghole though. So they may just do it again.
-
She was born in Oakland which is in the United States. She is a naturally born citizen under the Supreme Court's dubious historical ruling. She is an anchor baby. That's why so many foreigners come to the US is to get an anchor baby and then use chain migration rules to get their own (not naturally born) US citizenship.
-
Yup, the constitution says nothing about where the parents were born, just the person... so she is legal to be president... this isn't the hill the GOP needs to die on.
-
No she is not. Better look up people vs. Happersett. They said two citizen parents born here. Somehow they changed it to one like Obunghole. Also had to be born here but Obunghole was born in Kenya. Kenya says so along with his brother and grandmother or aunt can't remember which. That was instituted because the king could simply bang Americans and would have the money to allow them to win an election. So if Vlad or Xi runs over a drops a kid with some skank you'd vote for him/her knowing they are controlled by a foreign power?

I looked up the only Happersett decision I could find and it’s about women’s suffrage and voting rights of US citizens. It has nothing to do with parents and citizenship of their children born in the USA.
Is there a different Happersett?

EDIT - why won’t links auto-link anymore? Reminds me of old-timey message boards.
-
If his parents were there at a military base etc. it counts IIRC
-
If one of his parents are american hes american at birth
-
Not talking simple citizenship status.
-
If hes a citizen at birth hes a natural born citizen as opposed to a naturalized citizen
-
Everyone knew the vid was a fake.
-
So any despot can sire a child ship his pregnant woman here drop a kid and run them for president. That's not how it's supposed to be!
-
But that's how it is. Need a new Amendment.
-
Need the supremes to rule not some lower court. If they don't do it then the supremes. Natural born citizen is two citizen parents born here, That is what the founders said. A shitty lower court has said otherwise. It's quite a danger to our nations security.
In 1875, Chief Justice Waite, in the voting-rights case Minor v. Happersett, stated:
"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first."[62]

Correct. And if that child eventually wins the electoral college, it will be a function of the version of democracy that exists in this country. If that’s who the people fairly elect, those are the rules as they are today in terms of eligibility for the presidency.
Let the Democrats continue to be the party of banning eligible candidates from ballots as they “defend Democracy.”
-
The real problem isn't that the foreign kid born in the US can run for President, it's that they are automatically American citizens. Before easy world wide travel, this wasn't a big deal. With open borders and the popularity of pregnancy tours to the US to get an anchor baby automatic US citizenship, that rule needs to be changed.

who gives a shit where Kamala was born?
She’s a miserable top ticket candidate.
