Nikki Haley, the daughter of two non-citizens, is patently ineligible to serve as President or Vice President under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution
The following analysis is a detailed response to critiques of an article I wrote earlier this month that garnered national attention, and was even Truthed by President Trump, shedding light on Nikki Haley’s ineligibility to serve as President or Vice President under the Constitution. My article was published originally on my Substack and American Greatness, and was titled “The Constitution Absolutely Prohibits Nikki Haley From Being President Or Vice President.” As A Threshold Matter, Nikki Haley, The Daughter Of Two Non-Citizens, Must Provide Proof That Her Parents Were Lawful Residents When She Was Born
As we head into the New Hampshire Republican primary, the presidential field has consolidated around three major candidates: Donald Trump, the frontrunner by wide margins, Nikki Haley, and Ron DeSantis. With Vivek Ramaswamy’s distant fourth place finish in Iowa and subsequent endorsement of the 45th President, Trump’s edge in New Hampshire looks insurmountable.
Recent polling suggests that he commands an outright majority of all New Hampshire GOP voters, meaning that even if all the remaining candidates dropped out and rallied around a single challenger to Trump, their collective effort would still fail – without, perhaps, outside help from Democrats and Independents. With recent reports that Ron DeSantis’ War Room has been dissolved, and all the staff being laid off in the aftermath of Iowa’s disaster, it seems to have proven true Nikki Haley’s post-Iowa declaration that the Republican Primary has now become “a two person race.”

That did not stop obozo.
I think this is a dead issue. I agree with your position, but the courts are idiots and do not care what the truth is.
Discussing this topic will have no real world impact.
They are going to do it anyway.
So funny to see Trump, Trump supporters, and the media first use Ramaswamy, then Haley to wedge out DeSantis, then as she is poised to beat Trump in New Hampshire because of open voting by non-Republicans, they now raise the obvious issue many of us have raised since day one, Ramaswamy and Haley are not eligible. Guess everyone is now done with useful tool Haley, so time to dump her quickly. Consider even Gov Sununu trashed her earlier today after saying she could win, having endorsed, now says she could never win, maybe could manage second place in New Hampshire, etc. So transparent.
Paul Ingrassia is nothing more than a writer who is making his own interpretation of the "Natural Born Citizen" clause in the Constitution.
He ain't going anywhere..........Sheesh!
Every one of the early presidents was the child of non-citizens so this is just goofy nativism run amuck. Stop wasting time with bad arguments and share good ones (of which there are plenty) for why people shouldn't vote for Neo-con warmonger Nikki.
Whether or not she is eligible is not the correct question. That would have been correct back during the era of the rule of law, but we are beyond that era, into the era of the rule of force.
So the correct question now is: “Even if she is ineligible, who is going to stop her?”
I dislike Nimrata as do most on here, but she was born in South Carolina therefore she is a natural US citizen, her parents birth places mean nothing in this case.
Nor Kalamity Harris!
And the US Constitution has a special exemption for all such people born before 1776.
If bloggers or FReepers were in charge this might matter, but they’re not.
The courts interpret the law - they don’t declare the truth. They use both common-law precedent and statute to determine what is meant by a natural-born citizen. Their decisions determine what the law is.
If the court rules that you’re a horse, then, for legal purposes, you are a horse.
No feasible Supreme Court would take this case. The current court is already about as far “right” as can be achieved, thanks to Trump. It even overturned Roe v Wade. But it wont go here.
If she was born in the middle of the Ocean, would she be a natural American citizen?
I know a child born to American parents would, so I am asking if Niki would?
seeing something else here. camel’s nose under the tent to a foreign-born future “President” being installed by the powers that be under the guise of the new normality Nikki will be introducing...”The constitution doesn’t really mean what the text seems to say about who can be President”.
I am very aware of this. The Courts are idiots, and like you said, they don't care what the truth is. The only thing they care about is that people do as they say.
It does not...
I agree.
But this doesn't make it true.
I misspoke...you are correct.
You are kidding, right?
Article 2, Section 1, clause 5.
" 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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
All the early presidents became "citizens" in 1776. Every single one of them.
They were therefore "citizens" at the adoption of the US Constitution. (1789)
