Obama thes that rule out the window.
“I do not stand here to cavil with men who are not read in the horn-books of the law; but I assert that every man born within the limits of the Republic, or under its flag at sea, of parents who were not the subjects of any other sovereignty, are, in the very words of the Constitution, natural born citizens”
John Bingham, framer of Amendment XIV that made Obama, Harris and Haley US citizens
from Cong. Globe, 37th, 2nd Sess., 407 (1862)

By definition, natural born is someone bor in that country, in this case, the USA. Kamy passes that test. Nothing about parents needing to be U.S. citizens. Any anchor baby qualifies.
“The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law (1758)”
EMMERICH DE VATTEL
Ҥ 212. Citizens and natives.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”

After reading several replies about presidential & VP eligibility, it sounds like it is mostly up to whatever the DNC should decide. Hopefully, someday we would get a real Constitutional government & a lot of this could change. If the rules are changed, it doesn’t speak much for them actually being “rules”, does it?
This may be the reason the Dems use to deny Harris the nomination once they dump Biden. They’ll act like they didn’t realize this before - just as they “didn’t realize” the extent of Biden’s cognitive decline prior to the debate.
SHE NEVER WAS NBC
SHE NEVER WAS ELIGIBLE TO EVEN BE VP-—NEVER
SHE CANNOT CHANGE THAT STATUS IN ANY MANNER OR FORM
The DEMS KNOW THIS
THIS WAS DELIBERATE
LOL. I don’t care. Let her run. I’m willing to overlook it in this dummy’s case. She would be a disaster.
IT tells me that Howard Dean NEVER VETTED Obama correctly.
It tells me that PELOSI “CERTIFIED” Obama when she never should have.
IT tells me that his Birth Cert was a fake & Sheriff Joe Arpaio was right all along.
Actually-—THE SAME FOR ANY member of Congress who can accede to the Oval Office...
Next in line is Speaker of the House, IIRC.
Each case is different, but I agree. Especially with vivek. I found a quote from him where he actually says neither of his parents were citizens when he was born.
NIKKI HALEY HS the same problem
I am suspicious that VIVEK also is NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
KAMALA is an ANCHOR BABY
WE HAVE MILLIONS OF THOSE.
HOWARD DEAN & PELOSI WERE ASSISTING HIM
It tells me that they’ve have 4+ years to prep harris’ ‘background’ (they had less time with zero).
NO those are ANCHOR BABIES if parents are not US citizens before the birth.
Article 2
Section 1
Clause 5
Her parents were subjects of another sovereignty
14th amendment... they can’t be subject to another country
THE DNC HAS NO POWER TO USE THE CONSTITUTION IN WHATEVER MANNER THEY CHOOSE.
No, it does not bear discussion. The issue was settled in 1898. This is just more Birther Swill, served up in new clothing.
