Old enough to know better...
They wanted experience of age. A 35 year old man back in those days was an old man, peole aged faster because life was much harder.
Yet here they are pushing a 59 year old woman who thinks and talks like a 10 year old.

Does anyone think for a second this woman is NOT on drugs?
And if you follow the law closer and in the meeting when the Constitution was formed the parents have to have been citizens of the United States also
Instead of specific age (which back then many were well learned or into business, had learned and lived by morals etc by their 30s) they should have listed those things out more. In our times recently we have people playing pretend like children yet running for or otherwise being put into positions inwhich to do them well, need great maturity
BTTT
She’s outta her mind on drugs.
If doesn’t matter. They run an idiot like Joe or Kommielala. The media runs their campaign and destroys the opposing campaign.. They don’t have to say anything or show up. They can just stay in the basement. Once they get in office, they’re the perfect puppet. People behind the curtain are running the country.
would three years old work for you?
PINHEAD !
Average life span in the early industrial era was 38-44 years old. A resident within the US for 14 years would have been the equivalent of half one’s lifetime - all of their adulthood. (Of course, genetics aside, and same as today, the wealthy, able to afford/access good medical care and diet, had a longer life expectancy than the average man)
If 60 is the new 40 then 35 must be the new 15.
It was going on back then but most, not all, kept their deviancies behind closed doors. Society wouldn’t put up with the cray-cray we do today so that eliminated much of the concern.
I’ve always thought this needs to be defined a little more exactly as to what actually constitutes a natural born citizen & their parentage as to how that relates. I think many are confused on this issue. Curious as to how the law would actually be defined as to Kamala Harris’ parentage. Barack Obama is still under suspicion also I think. There might be others; I don’t know, but it would be hard to undo what has been done already.
There is no confusion when a statement is made that if the parents are here on passports or visas and drop an anchor baby, they are subject to the jurisdiction of the country that issued their traveling documents of citizenship (passport).
I think she’s on opioids, Greg Kelly said that as well on his radio show.
I’m going to tell you a true story friend. I have three children, the youngest of which is a woman. This young woman earned her undergraduate degree in neurobiology in three years at the University of Kansas, that typically takes four years. She then graduated from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in three years, that’s typically a four year endeavor. She is now a board certified medical doctor, who also completed a one year fellowship in sports medicine. This lady is 31 years old. So you tell me why she should not be eligible to be POTUS because she is four years too young? Is the fairy fucking godmother going to touch her shoulder with her magic wand when she turns 35 to magically transform this pinhead woman into a human being who is suitable to be the president? If there is brother I don’t see it. Have a great rest of your life.
Okay, since you asked. Kamal Harris, like Barack Obama, is not an Art. II §1, Cl. 5, the Natural-born Citizen, which is no accident. Obama wanted Kamala to be Biden’s VP to try to solidify the fact that requiring two citizen parents isn’t the only way to acquire natural-born citizenship.
When the term was first added to the Presidential Qualification clause in Article II, it was to prevent foreign loyalties from infiltrating the office of the presidency since the office of the Commander-in-Chief had just been added to the president’s official duties.
In today’s turbulently shrinking world, with our borders presently being overrun by illegal aliens, many of whom are Russians and Chinese, together with the vast increases in speed and destructive firepower modern weapons now have over their 18th Century counterparts, this issue is important enough to discuss applying the narrowest of definitions to the natural-born citizenship clause to any future presidents rather than standing on the threshold of abandoning it altogether forever?
I would agree fellow human being. My family has been in America since 1837. My ancestors settled in what is known now as Pottawatomie County, in the state of Kansas. They came here from Germany. They were farmers, as am I. I think it is correct that the POTUS be a citizen of the U.S., born here by American citizen parents. My only argument, the very reason I created a thread in the first place, which I rarely do, was the age requirement of 35.
