I think I figured it out.

I don’t think a person has to be a NBC to be a Vice President, so no challenge was made to Harris merely being on the ticket or even serving after Biden stole the Presidency. So the proper time to make the eligibility challenge would be upon the removal of Biden, by death or incapacity.

The 25th Amendment to the Constitution, Section 2, states:

“Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”

Since Harris is not eligible to be President, she’s not eligible to nominate a new Vice President, so now both positions are vacant. However, the Constitution provides that if neither the President nor Vice President can serve, the Congress shall provide law stating who is next in line. Currently that law exists as 3 USC 19, a section of the U.S. Code. This law was established as part of the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. There, the following line of succession is provided (https://usconstitution.net/consttop_succ.html):

Speaker of the House of Representatives
then a whole bunch of others

In light of all of these provisions, I don’t see any Constitutional crisis or situation that wasn’t already contemplated that avoids Pelosi becoming President.

Yes the VP has to be eligible for the presidency, that includes NBC.

This law was established as part of the Presidential Succession Act of 1947.

The Presidential Succession Act was intended to provide succession in the event of a decapitation strike on the US Gov't, not temporary vacancies. Just like someone in that Act doesn't attend the State of the Union address. Designated survivor.

Oops

PS - plus she’s a dual citizen. I think only Congressmaggots can be dual citizens; dual citizenship automatically means not qualified for POTUS or VP.
Only a few peeps were heard about Kamela, after 0bola politicians are play deaf, dumb, blind, and treasonous.

“Natural-Born Citizen Clause” is located in Section 1 of Article 2 of the United States Constitution

“No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President;”

a VP is “eleigible”
