Okay, since you asked. Kamal Harris, like Barack Obama, is not an Art. II §1, Cl. 5, the Natural-born Citizen, which is no accident. Obama wanted Kamala to be Biden’s VP to try to solidify the fact that requiring two citizen parents isn’t the only way to acquire natural-born citizenship.
When the term was first added to the Presidential Qualification clause in Article II, it was to prevent foreign loyalties from infiltrating the office of the presidency since the office of the Commander-in-Chief had just been added to the president’s official duties.
In today’s turbulently shrinking world, with our borders presently being overrun by illegal aliens, many of whom are Russians and Chinese, together with the vast increases in speed and destructive firepower modern weapons now have over their 18th Century counterparts, this issue is important enough to discuss applying the narrowest of definitions to the natural-born citizenship clause to any future presidents rather than standing on the threshold of abandoning it altogether forever?
I would agree fellow human being. My family has been in America since 1837. My ancestors settled in what is known now as Pottawatomie County, in the state of Kansas. They came here from Germany. They were farmers, as am I. I think it is correct that the POTUS be a citizen of the U.S., born here by American citizen parents. My only argument, the very reason I created a thread in the first place, which I rarely do, was the age requirement of 35.
