“BOTH HIS PARENTS CAME HERE LEGALLY and are highly educated immigrants who are not welfare recipients, EXACTLY the kind of immigrants even Trump says we should welcome.”
Making them “welcome” doesn’t negate the Constitutional requirements.
Even three of Trump’s kids aren’t eligible. Ivana came here legally; she was “welcome”. But she wasn’t a citizen when the three oldest were born.
RE: Making them “welcome” doesn’t negate the Constitutional requirements.
Sure, but let’s hold off our judgment until we REALLY find out that Vivek’s candidacy does not meet the constitutional requirements.
One thing is sure — he was born and raised in the USA, which makes him a CITIZEN at birth.
What is uncertain — were his parents CITIZENS at his birth, or only legal residents? That is the Natural Born issue that has never been settled satisfactorily.
But then, those questions apply also to Kamala Harris and Nikki Haley.
