Can you tell me where you found info on Tulsi’s mother? I read that she is from Indiana and is a Hindu but not that she is of Indian heritage. I thought she is white?
Anyway I read that her father the Samoan is a committed Catholic, even a lector and Carol, Tulsi’s Mother is Hindu. The article said Tulsi chose her mother’s religion.
Great idea
Way to miss my point.
Yeah, you missed my point.
Tulsi Gabbard was born on April 12, 1981, in Leloaloa, Maoputasi County, on American Samoa’s main island of Tutuila.
Because of Obama’s 8 years, we cannot get the SCOTUS to adjudicate this Article III matter for the first time in US history.
Tuaua v. United States
According to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the people born in American Samoa – including those born on Swains Island – are “nationals but not citizens of the United States at birth”. If a child is born on any of these islands to any U.S. citizen, then that child is considered a national and a citizen of the United States at birth. In an amicus curiae brief filed in federal court, Samoan Congressman Faleomavaega supported the legal interpretation that the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not extend birthright citizenship to United States nationals born in unincorporated territories.
All U.S. nationals have statutory rights to reside in the United States (i.e., the 50 states and Puerto Rico), and may apply for citizenship by naturalization after three months of residency by passing a test in English and civics, and by taking an oath of allegiance to the United States. However, the INA makes clear that any “national but not a citizen of the United States” who at any time has been convicted of any aggravated felony, whether the aggravated felony was committed inside or outside the United States, is “debarred from becoming a citizen of the United States”
Gabbard is a US citizen (not a US Natural born citizen) by virtue of a statute, the Immigration and Naturalization Act, passed in the 20th century, which did not modify the intent of Article II, section one, clause 5. A statute cannot amend the meaning of a constitutional provision.
No body has to prove chit any more that ship sailed in 08 do try to keep up
That poster is a #Never Trumper, otherwise he wouldn’t say that.
What is your point you #Never Trumper?
My point is simple. Gabbard won the Drudge poll because conservatives recognized that she was the most anti-establishment candidate among the Dems. Anything can happen in the general, so who do you want if Trump loses? Sanders? Biden? Warren? Or Gabbard?
I recently saw a large Tulsi 2020 billboard in South Carolina and was surprised to see it there. Guess she has some backing. Regardless, all democrat politicians are leftists and need to lose each and every election.
JoMa
Lot of Tulsi billboards in Iowa.
Working colleges hard for support.
Yes, someone’s serious money is backing her.
Do you understand that Tulsi’s mother is undoubtedly a US citizen and Samoa is under the jurisdiction of the United States?
I may be wrong here. Its possible that I confused Hindu with Indian. It seems her mother is mostly German. That does not explain the Hindu part. It also does not explain how she was home schooled. Or went to an all girls Christian school.
There is some guru they follow named Chris Butler. I believe the sect is an off shoot of Hare Krishna. The sect has political motives apparently and started the boarding school in the Philippines that both Tulsi and her husband are reported to have attended. My own feeling after reading about this is that Tulsi is completely steeped in the beliefs of this sect and may be more dangerous to America than I thought.

“There’s only one way for them to settle this...mud wrestling.”
Yeah, but let’s sub in Jessica Alba for Kamala “Camel” Harris. OK?
Yes I do. my post made clear, save for the facts about Gabbard’s mother, made that US Samoans born in Samoa without a US citizen parent are US nationals (not citizens) and those born with one or two citizen parents are US citizens at birth, by virtue of the Immigration and naturalization Act.
Neither of those points make her an Article II, natural born citizen eligible to assume the office of POTUS. I say let us have this matter adjudicated by the US SCOTUS rather than being ignored or ridiculed.
It is revealing to note what Clarence Thomas told a House subcommittee that when it comes to determining whether a person born outside the 50 states can serve as U.S. president when he said that the high court is “evading” the issue.
The comments came as part of Thomas’ testimony before a House appropriations panel discussing an increase in the Supreme Court’s budget in April of 2017. Thomas said that to Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y.
