Now all the readers here need to make a concerted effort to get this DeMaio article before McCarthy’s eyes ASAP so he can read it, think about it, discuss it, and plan for the day such events may happen. Also get it to other key leadership people in the House and to members of the conservative and freedom caucuses. No need to bother with the Senate leadership as I see this, other than FYI, as they would not have any say in it, as I understand the process. So as we say … spread the word.
Incidentally, I believe that Kamala Harris could be challenged also on her simple basic “Citizen” at birth claim (aka Citizen at/by Birth), in addition to the constitutional “natural born Citizen” at birth claim. I do not believe she is even a “Citizen” at birth. She may may now be a basic Citizen having gained U.S. Citizenship later by marriage or some other method later in life depending on when her father naturalized and if Kamala was still a minor child when he naturalized. But I believe she did not gain U.S. Citizenship at birth either under the correct original intent and purpose of the 14th Amendment or under the Wong Kim Ark (1898) SCOTUS decision.
Per the 14th Amendment original intent meaning, she was not born “subject to the [full political] jurisdiction” of the United States since her parents were foreign nationals who were merely sojourning here on student VISAs.
And per the Wong Kim Ark (1898) SCOTUS decision, neither parent was a permanent resident or legally politically domiciled in the USA. And the Wong Kim Ark (1898) decision only grants “Citizen at Birth” status to a person born in the USA to parents who are legally domiciled here, which in the case of WKA (1898) SCOTUS decision both parents were and in the case of Kamala Harris both parents were not.
Thus, if McCarthy (if he had the courage) brought such a challenge to Kamala Harris, a lot of erroneous progressive citizenship law interpretations could be looked at and straightened out by the U.S. Supreme Court, using original intent and purposes of the applicable citizenship terms, and prior SCOTUS decisions and precedence, if they would have the courage to do it.
“Bravo Zulu!” to Joe DeMaio for another excellent article and idea. I for one will start circulating it and others reading here should too.

Simple enough-
Go down the list of ALL contenders for POTUS-
Vivek? Florida Man?
Why dance around the question?
We know our PDJT The GOAT is Natural Born as that was even investigated by the Cretins of The Left.
Once they found out the Naturalization date of Momma Trump, they quickly abandoned it.
Should be a basic requirement to provide proof-
Ther Supreme Court is not the ultimate arbiter in a case like this, anyway. The eligibility issue effectively disappeared when candidates appeared on 51 state/DC ballots.
