Biden’s best vice-president pick is obvious (Tammy Duckworth)

NYT ^ | June 28, 2020 | Frank Bruni, New York Times

She isn't a Natural born citizen....can she become President if Biden bows out? [Tammy Duckworth was born in Bangkok, Thailand, the daughter of Lamai Sompornpairin and Franklin Duckworth.]

The Constitution states both the President and Vic President need to be natural-born citizens.

Who?!

[VanShuyten]

TULSI!

Wasn’t that Uncle Scrooge’s Butler on Duck Tales?

[SaveFerris]

No kidding! Yikes!

[VTenigma]

You hit the nail on the head.

[SaveFerris]

[Does she have a Certificate of Birth Abroad?]

Don’t worry. Loretta Fuddy can fix all of that and, oh, wait...

The Obama Doctrine:

Ain’t nobody got time for that stuff, racist.

“ can she become President if Biden bows out?”

All we’ll need is a republican to declare her ineligible. What are the odds of that?

[Bommer]

No Bidens wife is the only choice since she is the one with her hand up the ass of her puppet!

[ought-six]

“it’s going to be susan rice,”

I agree.

[jz638]

This one I worry about. She’s just as much of a leftist as any other candidate and she leverages her war wounds to shield her from criticism about her behavior more effectively than any senator since John McCain. I don’t think her not being black will make a difference, she is a she, checks other ideological and demographic boxes, and realistically who else are the socialists gonna vote for?

[Thunder90]

Its going to be either Harris or the Mayor of Atlanta.

[SuperLuminal]

Logical choice that would guarantee President Pelousy...

By your definition, she isn’t. The legal definition, i.e. the definition enforced by the courts, says she is. Whatever the definition, you’re gonna have a hard time convincing anyone that the biological daughter of the 3-war veteran isn’t eligible for the presidency. And this comes from someone who would pick a random name out of a phone book over Duckworth for dogcatcher, let alone any political post higher than that.

You could argue that the Oriental taint in her blood makes her ineligible. Heck, we’d be much better off if the franchise were limited to white male property owners, 21 years old and up. But that’s not where we are today.

[mosesdapoet]

If selected Duckworth should be forced to resign as a Illinois US Senator

[RummyChick]

if they think he has a chance of winning it will be hillary or moochie to be the first woman president after Joe kills himself

[proust]

Who’s going to force her?

[faithhopecharity]

like K. Harris, she is ineligible for the Veep position, too (US Constitution 12th Amendment)
