Former Vice President Joe Biden seems to have announced Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. There was an inquisitive photographer's shot of his notes suggesting just that. But there's also some question about whether she's really qualified. The media has already seeded the ground with quotes from some of the dumbest lawyers in America to state she is a “natural born citizen” under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, and is therefore, eligible to be vice president or president.
Is that really true?
Kamala Harris’ mother was Shyamala Gopalan, born in British India (present-day Chennai in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu). Ms. Gopalan never became a naturalized U.S. citizen. Donald Harris, Senator Harris’ father, is a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Jamaica. There are no provisions in the U.S. Constitution that qualifies a child born of a foreign national as a natural-born citizen and Senator Harris is not eligible to hold the office of the vice president.
It's possible the Trump campaign will not allow this nomination to go forward without a court challenge. There will be a full court press by the media to claim Senator Harris is eligible to the office of the vice president. The media and the Democrats will call President Trump every name in the book to get him to back off his call for legal action.
The media did a bang-up job keeping Barack Obama, a child born of a foreign national, out of the courts and into the White House. The Democrat Party believes they can do it again.

B. Hussein Obama: Leave Kamala alone with this stuff. She’s as much of a native born American as I am.
Did her father become a citizen before or after her birth?
I’m leaning more toward Warren as my guess.
Where was she born.
Nasally Kamala.
So are we supposed to forget that she is the product of the TWO largest sugar plantations in Jamaica. And an Indian family with live-in servants. If they made a statue of Harris they would have to pull it down as soon as they stood it up.
Per Joe, it will be “a woman of color”, so whether it’s Kamala or someone else, Joe and the Dems are still racist.
I’m still sticking with Susan Rice.
The “natural born citizen” thing is ignorance from the uninformed. I am much more concerned about the fact that she’s a race baiting, radical Leftist who screwed her way into office and who has no ethics, morals or honor.
Ruth Ginsberg is more Joes speed nowadays.
She was born in California. Her father had immigrated from Jamaica about 3 years before, I believe. I don’t know his citizenship status at the time.
The Democrat party line, I believe, is that “natural born citizen” has absolutely no special meaning and has nothing to do with parents. It’s like an anchor baby. If the kid is born on US soil, they can be president.
I think this is BS.
Guaranteed not to lose that seat if she wins
You inadvertently left out “dignity”.
Why is Hewitt wasting his time with this NBC nonsense?
Is Willie’s Ho a US citizen? Yeah? Then she’s qualified to be A White House Ho.
Dozens of court cases, challenges and lawsuits support this fact. If the founding fathers had not bungled up the meaning of NBC several times, then things migh be different today.
The “natural born citizen” thing is ignorance from the uninformed. I am much more concerned about the fact that she’s a race baiting, radical Leftist who screwed her way into office and who has no ethics, morals or honor.
Oh crap, do we have to go through this again? It’s a complete waste of time.
I tried to find out but wasn’t able to. It’s like they want to hide it.
That’s (D)ifferent…….
She was born in Oakland
