Harris gets her citizenship through the 14th amendment, and only through the 14th amendment...

WRONG! When was she ever a slave? The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to former slaves, nobody else.

14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Civil Rights (1868) National Archives

Following the Civil War, Congress submitted to the states three amendments as part of its Reconstruction program to guarantee equal civil and legal rights to Black citizens. A major provision of the 14th Amendment was to grant citizenship to “All persons born or naturalized in the United States,” thereby granting citizenship to formerly enslaved people.

She is a USC 8, naturalized citizen.
