Im not sure what a birther is, but from the context, I am guessing it is someone who cares about the Constitution. Am I close?
“I could be wrong, but I think Harris was born a citizen of Jamaica, and a citizen of India, as well as a US citizen. Thats not a recipe for being a Natural Born Citizen. She has potential allegiance to three nations. Not suitable to be President. Not eligible.”
You are correct. You might be WRONG!
You are right that Harris is Not suitable to be President. Not eligible.”
But not for those reasons.
U.S. citizenship is governed by THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
It doesn’t matter what Jamaica, India, Israel, Canada, or the British Empire do.
IT CAN NOT AFFECT YOUR U.S. citizenship or eligibility for president/vice president. It would take an overt act on your part such as enlisting in a foreign country’s army or OFFICIALLY (paperwork involved) renouncing your U.S. citizenship.
The “idea” behind not being eligible and so called dual citizenship, of having “foreign loyalties”, is correct, BUT in practice, we refer to the Constitution of the United States. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. It says NOTHING about dual citizenship.
The citizenship of the PARENTS (plural) (at the time of your birth) governs. If not “U.S.” citizenship, you are ineligible.
I wonder what happens if the father is unknown.
SO WHAT? I have written that it does matter. Just some guy’s OPINION.
...You sure the key words aren’t “that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States” aren’t the key words?...
***********************************************
Speaking of key words.... are the children, born overseas to two American citizen parents, legally subjects of America at the time of their birth?
mlo can reply also should he/she so desire.
“In this example, which I think is bad policy and not what was meant to happen under the 14th Amendment, the baby could lose US citizenship if he were taken back to his parents country and did not live in the US for a given amount of time. But I think that can happen even to someone born in the US to two citizens.”

Nope. By definintion—no way. Those who are born here to two citizen parents need not concern themselves in the least that their citizenship will lose even an ounce of its zotch due to copious amounts of time spent as expatriates. With a few notable exceptions, as Biden would say, such individuals rarely if ever make the mistake of “over-exposing” themselves to rabid anti-Americanism while overseas. They know it’s wrong, they can feel that it’s wrong, and their hearts will not be in it. Sure, we lose a few to the siren song occasionally, some of whom are then recruited and initiated into the globalist clique, but there are good reasons why NBCs who live for long stretches overseas are not seen as flight risks.
“Anchor babies” are even doubtful as citizens. But that’s for a Supreme Court with another couple conservatives to decide.
Hello woodpusher.
“When the child is born on US soil the citizenship of the parents is irrelevant.”
Look, you are uninformed.
Here is where you can find out EVERYTHING there is to know about “natural born citizen”.
I studied it for about two years. You could spend a small portion of that time at this website and LEARN.

yes indeed. “deliberately ignorant” when they know better to begin with, so its all a lying act and THIS is what I detest the most, deliberately misleading the people of USA
Iffinegan. When are you going to get around to the part where you explain that the fact of Chet Arthur’s father lacking U.S. citizenship at Chet’s birth was not uncovered until after the 2008 election. The public was clearly deliberately kept completely ignorant of this essential fact, and was treated at the time instead to a circus high-wire act of a spectacle in which the question of the country of his birth was (duplicitously) raised and kept artificially active for decades despite there never having been any basis for it in fact or even well-founded rumor.
Which is supported by the 14th
Jurisdiction
And 1st Congress...
JUST ONCE I'D LIKE TO SEE A FREAKING FAR-LEFT LIBERAL DEBATE THIS QUESTION WITHOUT BECOMING ALL VERKLEMPT.
Holy freaking cow. People debate whether anchor babies are citizens so why can't we debate whether CamelHo Harrass is a "natural born citizen"?
You lie. Of course it does. She is NOT a natural-born citizen.
You LIE!
Am waiting for KH to use BOs eligibility in court as an example. Would be great timing to expose HIM too
To frauds dont make a white-wash
