Ehh. Throw (stuff) on the wall. See what sticks.

This whole notion of Kamala not being eligible is crap. Everyone knows it. But if it adds doubt to someone - then fine. Go for it.

Many of us KNOW that she is NOT ELIGIBLE.

She carries dual citizenship thru her father to Jamaica.

Dual citizenship thru her mother to India is still being assessed.

He is an anchor baby only-—NOT eligible to be termed NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

That requires BOTH parents to be USA citizens when she is born here.

The question is whether this line of attack will sway more people to the Trump camp than it estranges from them. And is anyone who buys this argument already a Trump vote?

“This whole notion of Kamala not being eligible is crap. Everyone knows it. “

Sometimes, ya don’t know what ya don’t know.

Fits exactly to the eligibility issue. Most people THINK they know, they DON’T.

It’s a complicated issue that requires a lot of study to become informed. Most people can’t be bothered.

To quote myself...

Born ON U.S. SOIL, to TWO U.S. citizen parentS.
That’s IT. It’s all you need to know about what a “natural born citizen” means.
Does that statement say “ONE” citizen parent? No, it does NOT!
Does it say born in a “foreign” country? No, it does NOT!
Does it say born in a foreign embassy? No, it does NOT!
(foreign embassies are NOT U.S. soil)
Does it say anything about parents being in the military or in service to their country? No, it does NOT!
Does it say anything about dual citizenship? No, it does NOT!
Does it mention the 14th amendment? No, it does NOT!
So, don’t bother yourself with all these extraneous distractions. They DON’T MATTER!
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States says:
“Clause 5. No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been Fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”
The last sentence of Article XII.
“But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
The term “natural born citizen was well known to the founders. They were aware of and believed in the definition in the book:
The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law (1758)
EMMERICH DE VATTEL
BOOK 1, CHAPTER 19
Page 212, (in part)
“...natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens....”
IN the country, parent”S” (plural), who ARE citizen”S” (plural).
“...it was from Vattel’s The Law of Nations, more than anywhere else, that America’s founders learned the Leibnizian natural law, which became the basis for the American System.”
“The majority of this essay will be devoted to reviewing the contents of Vattel’s The Law of Nations, and its documented impact on America’s founding fathers.”

For some “light” reading. /s

At the link you will find and explanation of the meaning of Natural Born Subject which is the source of what the framers of the Constitution used as the basis of Natural Born Citizen in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4 (Citizenship)
