The fact that Senator Kamala Harris has just been named the vice presidential running mate for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has some questioning her eligibility for the position. The 12th Amendment provides that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." And Article II of the Constitution specifies that "[n]o person except a natural born citizen...shall be eligible to the office of President." Her father was (and is) a Jamaican national, her mother was from India, and neither was a naturalized U.S. citizen at the time of Harris' birth in 1964. That, according to these commentators, makes her not a "natural born citizen"and therefore ineligible for the office of the president and, hence, ineligible for the office of the vice president.
"Nonsense," runs the counter-commentary....

Thanks for the ping; post; thread.
Wednesday August 12, 2020: Watch TUCKER CARLSON show. Listen ALEX JONES - INFOWARS show.
Know EVERYTHING you can about KAMALA HARRIS.
2020 SEE CLEARLY what is going on.
As a practical matter, the constitution is toilet paper. Our government is in a state of rebellion.

Sadly you are 100% correct.
That statement is not even close to being correct. See my post # 39. There is a plethora of notes and writings contemporaneous with the drafting and approval process in the Constitutional Convention committees themselves.
The American University Law Review has this 2017 paper, Natural Born Citizen, that goes into great depth with sources cited from natural law through the ages up until that time.

It seems odd that you write of Jefferson and Paine regarding the U. S. Constitution when neither of them were present in the United States at the time it was drafted.
And I didn't mention Jefferson regarding the Constitution; I metntioned his personal letter to the Danbury Ministers which history has given the imprimatur of defining the "wall of separation between church and state."
You rightly mention that Jefferson was not part of the drafting of the Constitution, yet his letter years later is taken as interpretative. Why is that, because people liked what he said? Because he wt the Declaration of Independence ? Because he was President?
Paine wrote Common Sense and The American Crisis, the former six months before Jefferson wrote the Declaration. Paine spent the War in France securing foreign funding. So why isn't Paine's interpretation treated similarly? Because parties don't like it? Because he himself wasn't born here?

Bump.
To prove standing you prove you were harmed. Just because your candidate lost doesn't qualify. But if Pence was beaten out of his office by someone who wasn't qualified then he may have a case. It would be a stretch but he's about the only one who would.
Some?
Not one of our elected or appointed honored their oath to uphold the Constitution.
While it is true Trump’s mother was not born in the US, she became a naturalized citizen 4 years before his birth. Bottom line, Trump was born on US soil from two US citizens so he is a natural born citizen.
When Biden is declared unfit to hold office, there will be a cat fight between Harris and Pelosi. Pelosi will suddenly become a believer in the NBC (born on US soil from two US citizens) requirement to get herself sworn in as POTUS. Harris will suddenly realize obamy was no more a NBC as she is and ride to the office on his coattails.
Kamala doesn’t meet the natural born citizen of being born on US soil from two US citizens.
Ted Cruz is not eligible by any stretch of the imagination.
Come on, give us your definition of the following:
US citizen by birthright
US citizen by naturalization
US citizen by natural born citizenship
Guess who was on the committee to determine if John McCain was a US citizen. Hillary, Obama, Leahy, Caskill, Coburn and Webb and they brought in Homeland Security Dir. Chertoff for his read on it. Most interesting is those first two. Note Obama was never vetted.
Another interesting tidbit is you’d be hard pressed to see the original resolution presented to the Senate by the committee. Leahy had it on his site for years so I’m of the opinion he knew they’d given Barry a free pass.
Hit the send button too quickly. To follow, that committee and Chertoff defined NBC as born on US soil to two US citizens.
What they failed to note was McCain wasn’t born on US soil. Yes, his parents were on a US military base which is US soil but he was born off of the base in a city hospital. It doesn’t matter now since he wasn’t elected but what does matter is the committee did define NBC.
According to Gladstones definition you had to be born in England- and that was the template for the US. Version
So naturalized is phooey - you parents had to be BORN here with no other possible affections.
Like I said - Im a trumper but his mother being Scottish makes him the same as Obama in the founders eyes- Hamilton would never been president either.

This “stupid birther crap” is the only thing holding back the likes of Kim, Castro or Putin from sitting in the oval office. You better start caring.
