Nimrata “Nikki” Haley is ineligible for the office because her parents were foreign citizens when she was born.

No court has ever held or will ever hold that is the eligibility criteria. The first U.S. President to even meet that criteria was Millard Fillmore. The parents of every President before him were foreign citizens when they were born.

There are only two types of citizens: (1) natural citizens and (2) naturalized citizens. Natural citizens are anyone who was born a citizen of the U.S. under the laws then in effect. Naturalized citizens are anyone who was not a citizen at birth and who had to apply for and qualify for citizenship under the laws then in effect. Natural citizens are eligible to be elected President. Naturalized citizens are not.

MAYBE a court will someday hold that children of illegal aliens are not automatically citizens, but I am not holding my breath. Children of parents that were legally here when they were born were "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S. and therefore birthright citizens under the 14th Amendment.

There are many, many reasons not to vote for Haley. Constitutional eligibility is not one of them.

Yes. This. And only this. Those who spout off in any other direction are midwits who are blowing smoke out of their butts.

But I'd vote for Joe Biden before I'd vote for Panjeet Nimarata.
