Nikki Haley fails the three legged stool test!
(Jan. 30, 2023) — Both of Nikki Haley’s parents were not U.S. Citizens when Nikki was born. Nikki Haley was born to a Citizen of India father (minus one stool leg) and to a Citizen of India mother (minus the 2nd stool leg).
The normal path to becoming a naturalized U.S. Citizen takes five years. Nikki Haley was born in 1972 . Her father and mother emigrated from India to Canada and then to the USA in 1969. Thus there was not sufficient time for either of Nikki’s parents to become naturalized U.S. Citizens when Nikki was born in 1972. It is not known at this time to this writer if Nikki’s father and mother ever became naturalized U.S. Citizens. Nikki Haley is not being very transparent on this issue. Even if one or both of her parents did naturalize later after Nikki Haley was born, it would not change Nikki’s birth status. Given Nikki Haley’s year of birth in 1972, and her parents immigration year of 1969 to the USA, she was thus born in the USA to two foreign nationals and thus inherited their respective birth nation’s citizenship when she was born, in addition to being a basic Citizen by being born in the USA to aliens legally domiciled here. Thus Nikki Haley was born with citizenship and required national allegiance at birth to two countries. This is hardly what the founders and framers intended when they selected the “natural born Citizen” requirement for the person who would in the future be permitted to be the President and Commander in Chief of our military, once the founding generation was gone. ... continue reading here: https://www.thepostemail.com/2023/01/30/nikki-haley-is-not-a-natural-born-citizen-of-usa-to-constitutional-standards-not-eligible-to-be-president/

Yes, she is by the people that matter, which isn’t you.
This is a useless distraction, as she will never even be a top tier RINO.
By the way, I'm the same about anchor babies. Even if they're born here that doesn't make them U.S. citizens (if their parents weren't U.S. citizens).
I don’t care for Nikki Haley, but why wasn’t this type of scrutiny given to Barack Hussein Obama ?
Obama’s resume’, and background, have more holes in it than a food strainer.
Neither of my grandmothers ever became citizens....nor did they ever speak English.
That doesn’t make them ‘natural born’... with the 14th amendment they are still ‘native born’ citizens... which is why the Constitution would need amending to get rid of ‘anchor babies.’
The exclusions listed above also apply to Kamala Harris.. neither of her parents were citizens when she was born.
The law applies only to Republicans, not Democrats...............
What a stupid article. If you can’t be a citizen unless your parents are citizens already, I guess no one is a citizen, unless maybe all your ancestors lived here when the Constitution was adopted.

‘Native born’.. a ‘natural born citizen’ has always meant born to citizen parent(s).
‘Natural’ in law has always meant ‘from the body..’ as in a ‘natural son’ is a person who came from the body, regardless of church sanction.. that is ‘a bastard.’
This takes me back to 2009.
Haley isn’t going to be a top-tier GOP presidential primary candidate in 2024, let it go.
Too bad,so sad......
Hope they can make it stick.
President Theodore Roosevelt said that P. A. LeLong was eligible to be President even though he did not have two citizen parents.
1) She hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in Hades of getting a nomination.
2) The Constitution does not define the term “natural born citizen” and the Supreme Court hasn’t either. Current legal interpretation is that it simply refers to someone who is a citizen at birth and does not need naturalization.
So, the whole discussion is a boring repeat of old stuff.
Good post; the article is correct. Do not confuse “citizen” with “natural born citizen” . President is the only office with this requirement.
But Kenyan Obama was?
The 14th Amendment is pretty clear on this.
It’s not only stupid but pointless, Nikki Haley has no chance of winning the nomination and trying to make this argument against her is pointless because no one will buy into it.
I respectfully disagree. The word "native" as in "native born" doesn't depend on location. It's defined as "being such by birth or origin".
14th Amendment text:
All persons 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.
To your point, the phrase: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States..." seems to back up your point about people born on U.S. soil. That is, until you get to the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". To me that means if you're born a citizen of another country (subject to that country's laws) then your birth on U.S. soil doesn't count as making you a natural born citizen. And we have precedent of that with indigenous Americans (I hate to say "Native Americans" in this context LOL) being born off of the reservation (and thus on U.S. soil) but not being counted as U.S. citizens. They didn't become U.S. citizens until much later by the 1924 Indian Citizenship Act.
