Tom Fitton Questions Harris’s Eligibility

(Aug. 21, 2020) — At approximately the 20-minute mark in his weekly update from August 14, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton touched on questions arising last week after former Vice President Joseph Biden announced California U.S. Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate in the November 3 presidential election.

Judicial Watch is a self-described “conservative” non-profit organization which frequently takes federal and local agencies to court over their refusal or failure to release government documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The question of constitutional “eligibility” has become a subject which many in the mainstream media ridicule and attempt to silence without delving into the history or intended meaning of the Framers when they insisted that the president and commander-in-chief of the military be a “natural born Citizen.” That designation was mandated only for the nation’s chief executive, while members of Congress were required to simply be a “citizen” and resident in the state they wished to represent for a specific number of years.

Fitton referred to an article by Chapman University Professor of Law John Eastman which focused on the 14th Amendment’s “citizenship” provision and whether or not Harris’s parents at the time of their daughter’s birth were “lawful permanent residents” as opposed to “merely temporary visitors, perhaps on student visas issued pursuant to Section 101(15)(F) of Title I of the 1952 Immigration Act.” ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2020/08/21/tom-fitton-questions-harriss-eligibility/

Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch brought up the eligibility issue regarding Kamala Harris. At least he touch on it, increasingly a 3rd rail of things that cannot be said, according to the main stream media. However, he doesn't seem to understand, or feigns that at this point in time, that the 14th Amendment does not contain the adjectives "natural born" in front of the word "Citizen" therein, and the 1898 Wong Kim Ark SCOTUS "holding" only declared WKA a 14th Amendment "Citizen" of the United States, and not an Article II Section 1 Clauses 5 "natural born Citizen" of the United States. The 14th Amendment did not change or modify or dilute Article II Section 1 Clause 5, the presidential eligibility clause. The 14th Amendment is a man-made act and Positive Law that made new "Citizens" of the United States. No man-made law is necessary to make a "natural born Citizen". Only Natural Law can create "natural born Citizens" of the United States, i.e., born in the USA of two "Citizen" parents, born Citizens themselves or naturalized, but both a "Citizen" of the USA when their child is born in the USA. See Vattel's "Principles of Natural Law": https://lonang.com/library/reference/vattel-law-of-nations/vatt-119/ Such a child per Natural Law is free of foreign citizenship and attendant allegiance when born a "natural born Citizen". Kamala Harris was born a Citizen of Jamaica at birth via her foreign national Jamaican Citizen father who was in the USA on a temporary via. She was thus born a dual-Citizen with citizenship and allegiance to a foreign country. Foreign influence on her via birth. She was also raised in Canada by her mother, a Citizen of India, more foreign influence via her mother. This is exactly what John Jay wrote to George Washington about during the Constitutional Convention in July 1787, that command of our military should never devolve to a person with foreign influence at birth, which resulted in the "natural born Citizen" term being added to the presidential eligibility clause, as a "strong check" against foreign influence in our highest elected offices. Per the 12th Amendment (last line) to be the VP you must also be an Article II natural born Citizen. She is not. But at least he had the courage to broach the subject of Kamala Harris' lack of constitutional eligibility to serve as Vice President, or a back door path to the Presidency and Commander in Chief. Adjectives mean something. I sent him this article on Euler Diagrams and set and subset theory: https://cdrkerchner.wordpress.com/tag/euler-diagram/

Watch out.

This thread will be descended on by the FReeper surrender monkeys who think this is a waste of time, or think that Vladimir Putin could have an illegitimate child in the US and that person would be eligible once they reach the age of 35.

The anti-Constitutionalists want foreigners in the White House, the exact opposite of the founders intention.

Do you think Harris will be challenged, found ineligible and removed from the race?

I have read quite a bit about eligibility requirements and I have no idea how a court would rule.

Watch out.

This thread will be descended upon by tinfoilhat wearing eligibility nuts whose purpose is to wreck Trump’s re-election campaign by diverting campaign funds and activism to a totally losing avenue of action.

In no way shape or form is she a natural born citizen. Heck she is even one step less a natural born citizen than Obama was.

IMHO at this state of the game this should have been decided by the Supreme Court many years ago.

The two parties most prominent now are not authorized by the Constitution or are Governmental agencies.
They have no more right to put forward a Presidential candidate than your local golf club.

Through the years the Dems and Repubs have allowed the public to think of those two parties as the only two legitimate voting choices.

Since neither party pushes the Supreme Court for a clarification of "NATURALBORN" ,the Socialists and Communists, who have taken over the Dem Party, can get away unquestioned with an Obama and Harris nomination ,while the cowardly Repubs remain silent, and let their own Sen. Cruz and Sen. Rubio go unvetted.

Somewhere along the line the Supreme Court is going to have to settle this 'NATURAL BORN' eligibility question. -Tom

It’s not just Kamala Harris, the latest wannabe usurper. Both political parties have a stable of ineligible candidates for the highest political offices that they want to run in the future, or who they ran in the past: https://www.scribd.com/lists/22182725/Some-Politicians-Seeking-High-Office-Who-Are-Not-A-Natural-Born-Citizen-of-U-S

or think that Vladimir Putin could have an illegitimate child in the US and that person would be eligible once they reach the age of 35.

And why not? Maybe Putin's American-born child loves this country and would make a great president.

I’m happy to see this posted.
Tom Fitton is smart, credible, and backed by a lot of $$. The more exposure and attention this gets, the better.
