> Same question about the crystal ball. <

I’m not 100% sure what you mean there. But I’m going to take stab at it, and say you might be right. I’d bet the Supreme Court of today would defer to what the voters (allegedly) said in 2020. Harris is eligible to be vice president. Therefore, she is eligible to be president.

But who knows what a future Supreme Court might say? Perhaps they would interpret the Constitution more strictly, and say that folks like Harris are not eligible.

I’m an old guy. So I might not live long enough to see that. I don’t see that ever happening anyway. In general, this country is getting mushier, not stricter.

Regards,
LR

Damn it man, the SC is supposed to uphold the bloody frigging CONSTITUTION, not defer to the voters. How BS your argument is!!!

I don't see one place in any of those three types of oath where deferring to voters is mentioned.
