@VivekGRamaswamy
We don’t need another plastic career politician beholden to his donor masters to sit in the White House. We need a real leader. Let’s drop the act @RonDeSantisFL and just get on with it: welcome to the race.

This Vivek character isn’t even eligible for president. Yes he’s born here but his parents immigrated from India.
Can somebody find out who Vivek’s donors are?
RE: This Vivek character isn’t even eligible for president. Yes he’s born here but his parents immigrated from India.
That’s all water under the bridge now ever since Barry got elected President. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.
I guess that is true. It’s just if they can ignore one section of the constitution, what’s to stop them from other sections.
Not eligible. Not born in the US

Translation: I’m not plastic even though I look that way, and besides, my mega donors will not hold me to anything once I’m selected for the WH.
No to POTUS. No to VP.
Lower your sights pal. Use the playbook JD vance used. Your $500 million net worth is on par with Hillbilly Elegy. Your forward thinking is good for rust-belt Ohio.
Once you get noticed and your point across shift gears and take on Sherrod Brown for the winnable senate seat. Ohio Governorship is up in ‘26-too far away.
My bad. He was born in Cincinnati
RE: My bad. He was born in Cincinnati
Some FReepers are saying that even this is NOT ENOUGH to show that he’s a natural born citizen.
In fact, any candidate whose family name is Asian will automatically give rise to this question.
Were either of his parents citizens when he was born ? The SCOTUS would have to take it up if it looked like a plausible nomination. I’m not sure about Haley either.
DING DING DING...
And this, right here is exactly why Trump will take the nomination handily.
DeSantis, like just about every other politician is beholden to the money men, and its painfully clear.
Anytime he says something at odds with the money men, he quickly has to walk it back.
“Were either of his parents citizens when he was born?”
I think that, for the sake of America, it isn’t enough that a candidate be born in America. And it isn’t enough that a candidate’s parents were simply citizens when he was born.
Both parents should have been born in the USA, and have been subjected to American History throughout school. (I understand that isn’t happening now, but it was when current candidates’ parents were of that age.) If those parents understood the foundation of America they could have passed that to their kids at home.
For example, Nimrata wouldn’t have messed with the Confederate flag, etc., while Governor. She doesn’t “get” America, and she never will.
(I don’t know where Vivek’s parents were born.)
I checked with ChatAI ( an artifical intelligence chatbot ) and asked this question:
What were the citizenship of Vivek Ramaswamy’s parents when he was born?
Here is its answer:
Vivek Ramaswamy’s parents were both naturalized citizens of the USA when he was born in 1985 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Vivek’s father immigrated to the US from India in the 1970s and became a naturalized citizen in the 1980s. His mother immigrated to the US from Mauritius and also became a naturalized citizen in the 1980s.
(1) There are multiple court decisions - going back to the 1800s - that confirm that persons born inside the territory of the USA are citizens by birth. There are some rare exceptions, like children born to foreign diplomats.
(2) To my knowledge, the issue of "Natural Born" citizenship and eligibility for the office of President and Vice President has never been definitively settled by a federal court.
You might want to reconsider that.
In 2012, 80% of Asian Indian citizens voted to reelect Barack Obama.
In 2016, 77% of Asian Indian citizens voted for Hillary Clinton.
In 2020, a pre-election sample by the Carnegie Institute found that just 22% of Asian Indians planned to vote for Donald Trump.
