Republican presidential hopeful and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is continuing to build off of momentum she’s been enjoying since late summer, tying Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for second place in an iteration of Iowa’s gold standard survey released on Monday.
The new Des Moines Register/NBC News poll still indicates that former President Donald Trump holds a sizable lead in the Hawkeye state, where the first primary contest of the 2024 season will be held on January 15.
But Haley’s 16% outstripped her base of support in a poll conducted by the same outlets in August by 10% and tied DeSantis, who lost 3% of his support.

CORRECT
James Buchanan’s parents emigrated from Ireland in 1783, and James was born in 1791.
I haven’t been able to find a definitive reference that James’ parents were or were not citizens when he was born. It’s possible that they had not gone through the process specified by the Naturalization Act of 1790.

She was born to parents who weren’t naturalized citizens yet. She’s an anchor baby. Anchor babies aren’t natural born Citizens. A citizen and natural born Citizen aren’t the same thing. She’s a citizen by statute. That’s not natural born.
>>She will not get a single vote below the Mason-Dixon line.
I recall that South Carolina might be below the Mason-Dixon line.
none in the south ...
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING AMERICAN CITIZEN & BEING NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
IT all ties to citizenship of BOTH parents when Child was born HERE.
IF sentence 3 is correct-—then—we have MILLIONS OF ANCHOR BABIES who can be PRESIDENT ???? NO THANKS
PLEASE READ
ARTICLE 2
Section 1
Clause 5 of the U S Constitution.
And yet, if all of that is true, how was Obama allowed to become president, and how was Kamala allowed to become vice-president?
We can debate this issue all we want, here on Free Republic. But in the real world, no controlling legal authority prevented either Obama or Kamala from their offices, in spite of them not meeting the strictest qualification of natural born citizenship discussed on Free Republic.
how many elections has she won since she blamed the retard murders on the confederate flag?
You are wrong. Go read the court decisions. You just make yourself look foolish
she may skirt the law and run ... but she won’t get enough electoral votes for it to mean anything ...
Bias pro Obama and Clinton judges wouldn’t allow or hear any evidence in all those pro-constitutionalists (not birther) cases. Wong Kim Ark was never declared an Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizen.
Pelosi stripped the natural born Citizen wording out of the certification paperwork for Obama. McCain had his left in. Obama subverted Article 2 Section 1 with the help of Pelosi and Harry Reid. If you raised the issue it was considered racist and the media covered for him.
All that matters is what the courts are going to agree with. Even if your reading of the Constitution is correct it doesn’t matter one jot. You may tilt at windmills all you like. The USSC is not going to declare millions of Americans to be non-citizens. If you are born here you can run and your parents’ statuses don’t matter. Deal with it.

You can always live in your own little world but I would not advise taking that rubbish to court. The anti-constitutional birther blather loses every time because it has no legal merit whatever.

You want a receipt with that?
Wong Kim Ark at 169 U.S. 649, 658-59:
It thus clearly appears that, by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the Crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, the jurisdiction of the English Sovereign, and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign State or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.III. The same rule was in force in all the English Colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the Constitution as originally established.
Wong Kim Ark at 169 U.S. 649, 662-63:
In United States v. Rhodes (1866), Mr. Justice Swayne, sitting in the Circuit Court, said: "All persons born in the allegiance of the King are natural-born subjects, and all persons born in the allegiance of the United States are natural-born citizens. Birth and allegiance go together. Such is the rule of the common law, and it is the common law of this country, as well as of England. . . . We find no warrant for the opinion that this great principle of the common law has ever been changed in the United States. It has always obtained here with the same vigor, and subject only to the same exceptions, since as before the Revolution."
If the choice is Haley; I’m staying home.
George Bush in a skirt. She’ll have is more forever war.
Undervote POTUS if the run a RINO.
If nothing changes, nothing changes.
I’m not a fool but you are rude.
The fact is there is debate and argument on this issue at every level. Despite any ruling on any case from the SC. I prefer to not have a President or Veep that can or did claim dual citizenship and I believe it is well worth debating.
Our Founders thought we all would know better and put too much trust in future generations. They should have been crystal clear about this seriously important issue. Many of us see their meaning and intent to be that only people born in the US of US (only) citizens would be eligible to hold any office that could potentially lead to the White House.
Bath House Barry may have been eligible to hold the office if his public story is true because his “claimed” mother was a US citizen, but Kamala is not, and neither is Nikki because neither had US citizen parents. A few others fall into this category.
Have a nice day.
I am not rude. You can blather all you want. SCOTUS has already ruled on this. Do yourself a solid and read the decisions
