Sen. Kamala Harris
(D-Calif.) dismissed speculation that she would be a sought-after running mate to balance out a presidential ticket, instead calling current Democratic front-runner Joe Biden a great potential vice presidential nominee for her.
I think Joe Biden would be a great running mate. As vice president hes proven that he knows how to do the job, Harris said at a campaign stop in New Hampshire.
Harris is often touted as a great potential running mate to add diversity to a Democratic ticket should she fall short in pursuing the presidential nomination herself.

Convoluted and sophist constitutional reasoning is becoming increasingly normative today. As a practical matter, you may be on to something. that is why we have Roe vs. Wade and Obergefell vs. Hodges.
Your analysis would render the NBC provision of Article II superfluous and meaningless, and render it to be no different than the “citizen” applied elsewhere in the constitution, when the understanding at the time of the ratification of Article II clearly meant a special protection for the office of POTUS. I think that the framers of the constitution would be as amazed at the controversy over the Article II meaning of “natural born citizen” as they would be over what “well regulated” means in the Second Amendment.
Actually I think the framers of the constitution would be amazed at how badly they screwed up the whole misguided concept of Natural Born Citizen.
The Act of 1790 was repealed by the Naturalization Act of 1795, which extended the residence requirement to five years, and by the Naturalization Act of 1798, which extended it to 14 years. The 1798 act was repealed by the Naturalization Law of 1802.

Yes. I believe that the repeal of the 1790 Act was prompted in part because of the potential conflict with the intent of the Article II NBC provision. I sincerely believe that they wanted an Article II natural born citizen to be born in the US.
That 1790 act held that a person born of US citizens anywhere in the world would be considered a “natural born citizen.”

Same ol’crap all over again.Yet another half black obama with foreign parents claiming she is legal yet she’s not. Not even a citizen,shes an anchor baby.Where do all these pretend blacks come from?
Harris is just raising money. Shes not eligible and she knows it. You cant cherry pick or claim failed concepts to what is written in plain English. If you dont like the eligibility requirements, you can move someplace else or apply for a different job like everyone else does.
Kamal has a problem, she comes across as nasty and not too bright.
