Newsweek Apologizes For Kamala ‘Birther’ Piece – But There’s Still No Evidence Her Parents Were Citizens When She Was Born

Newsweek backtracked from their article earlier in the week where it claimed that Senator Kamala Harris doesn’t qualify to be Vice President of the United States. Unfortunately for Harris, there is still no evidence her parents were US citizens when she was born.

.......snip.......

da as well.

Newsweek released an op-ed where they claimed Kamala Harris likely does not qualify for the Office of Vice President this week. Professor John Eastman, Professor of Law at Chapman University and Senior Fellow at the Claremont Institute raised these concerns based on evidence known to date

Because Pelosi cares more about power.

What difference does Pelosi's quest for power make to the Democrat leadership as long as they have control of the Presidency?

Trump has surely found that there is no Natural Born clause any more. Congress redacted it in 2008.

2008? You must be joking.

2008 was the year the RNC and DNC deliberately simultaneously nominated POTUS ineligible candidates. It was Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, Mutually Assured Destruction, whatever you wish to call it. The net effect, though, was a smart bomb aimed by the uniparty (now referred to as the D.C. Swamp or Deep State) directly at the Article II NBC clause.

And 2012? With Romney, the second consecutive Republican POTUS nominee with strict instructions to take a dive and throw the fight? As if. Why would Romney care that he had standing to sue Obama over his POTUS eligibility. He probably voted for Obama instead of himself, the lame-o.

They’re going to push her based on the modern idea that if she was born here, she’s an American, regardless of her parents’ status.

We know that’s not constitutionally correct, but too many people weren’t taught that.

Honestly, I think they chose her purposefully in order to sow this kind of discontent.

If she was born in this country she is eligible.

What if Harris takes a trip to Jamaica? What naturally superior case would the U.S. have over Jamaica in terms of claiming first dibs on Harris’ hide if Jamaica decided to draft her into their army and gets its mitts on her before she gets a chance to fly back to the U.S.?

WRONG!

First, the 14th amendment has NOTHING to do with “natural born citizen” issue.

Supreme Court case
of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and
subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental
citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/natural_born_citizen

Your link is an article, someones OPINION!

You sir are misleading people.

The following is from the actual case!
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/169/649/

U.S. Supreme Court
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
United States v. Wong Kim Ark

No. 18

Argued March 5, 8, 1897

Decided March 28, 1898

169 U.S. 649

Syllabus

A child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States, by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution,

“All person born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

Notice it says “citizens” NOT “natural born”.

Also, United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
Opinion of the Court by Associate Justice Horace Gray

“The fact, therefore, that acts of Congress or treaties have not permitted Chinese persons born out of this country to become citizens by naturalization, cannot exclude Chinese persons born in this country from the operation of the broad and clear words of the Constitution, “All persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.””

AGAIN, “citizens of the United States.”

While the term natural born citizen and natural born subject, and English common law are bandied about, in the final paragraph of his opinion, he did NOT use the term natural born citizen.

“Even worst Kamala is an Anchor Baby”

I think you mean “Even worse, Kamela is an anchor baby.”

Sorry about that, chief! :)

Sorry you don’t like my choice of words. Next time I will avoid saying “pass a law” and call it “propose and pass a Constitutional amendment.”

“...did he really have a choice?...”

I think not. He’s so far gone, I think the DNC is in complete control and probably dictated he not come to the convention for several reasons. 1. They don’t want delegates to see how bad off he is. 2. They may want to dump him in convention and put in another, maybe Cuomo. In that case it’s best he not be physically present.

Obama had his records sealed at Occidental College, Columbia University and other places I don’t recall. Don’t they have an expiration date?? Someday we should know by documentary evidence.

I’m sorry that the way the supreme court has decided to interpret the constitution to mean that anyone born in the US even to someone here illegally is automatically a citizen. *shrug* I agree it “shouldn’t” be that way, but it is. Time to move on to something that matters, like the fact that she is a far left commie.

Find a brick wall. Pound your head against it until you are senseless. That would be more productive than this line of reasoning. Have you been following the Flynn case? Our federal judiciary is thoroughly corrupt and they are the only path to declaring Harris ineligible.
