> Anyone know how someone’s eligibility is contested? <

When Herbert Hoover first ran for president, there was some question as to his eligibility. Because while he was for 14 years a resident of the US, it wasn’t in the 14 years right before the election (Hoover was out of the country doing relief work).

The courts did not take up the issue. They said, essentially, let the voters decide. And Hoover was elected.

I suppose the same thing will happen with this natural-born controversy.

Thanks. I suppose you’re right. We won’t know, though, unless someone tries to take it to court. It’s telling that the other candidates haven’t objected to Harris’ or Gabbard’s citizenships.

‘I suppose the same thing will happen with this natural-born controversy.’

undoubtedly so...and this is quite possibly the mootest of all moot points...
