“She was born a citizen of Jamaica, not of the United States. “

Nonsense, she was a citizen of the United States from the moment she was born.

“”Nonsense, she was a citizen of the United States from the moment she was born.””

I’m glad I kept reading as I was going to say the same thing. It doesn’t have to be confusing. Her father was Jamaican but she was not BORN in Jamaica so she’s not a Jamaican citizen.

She was born in the United States and IS A CITIZEN of the country she was born in!

I don’t know why the president’s team had to step in it all over again. The country doesn’t need the distraction.

“She was born a citizen of Jamaica, not of the United States. “

Nonsense, she was a citizen of the United States from the moment she was born.”””

She has dual citizenship with Jamaica thru her father.

She is a NATIVE BORN citizen here in the USA.

She IS NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

2 entirely different things.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

Jamaican law states that since her father was a Jamaican citizen at the time of her birth, she is automatically a Jamaican citizen.

Can you say dual citizenship. That should disqualifier her from being President or VP.

>>Nonsense, she was a citizen of the United States from the moment she was born.

AND a citizen of Jamaica from the moment she was born.

Nonsense, she was a citizen of the United States from the moment she was born.

Since you’re so sure, perhaps you could enlighten all of us knuckle dragging morons the key differences between natural born citizenship, statutory citizenship’ and derivative citizenship.

"[Harris] was a citizen of the United States from the moment she was born."

That is only because of relatively recent misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment (which was passed only to make former USA slaves citizen so that they would not be stateless). The 14th Amendment does not mention and has nothing to do with the definition of natural born Citizen.

If Harris had been born before the 14th Amendment she would not have been a citizen at all. Obviously the 14th Amendment was not part of the Constitution when the Founders made natural born Citizen a presidential job requirement, so if in the Founders' time someone with birth circumstances exactly Harris would not have even been a citizen, then the Founders could not have possibly considered someone like Harris to be a natural born Citizen.
