Good catch, being in the line of succession she is ineligible.
Born of Indian nationals she was born an Indian national.
Anyone born of foreign national parent(s) is not naturally a citizen because they can be something else.
A natural born citizen is naturally a citizen because they have only ONE nationality.
The National Review. - WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!
You really think that the 435 members of congress will TIE in their election of the next speaker to such a point that they will choose a non member?
Wow.... I want some of what you are smoking.
How about Jim Jordan,thank you very much
It’s AMERICAN history, fool.
I have spent large (for me) sums of money trying to preserve US history through organizations like the Civil War Trust, the Revolutionary War Trust and American Battlefield Trust.
I do not intend to stand by and watch it be erased.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin and had ancestors in the Union Army. I live in Virginia now and the statues will come down over my dead body.
Jim Jordan
Line of succession suggests the House Speaker should also be a natural born citizen.
this only matters to the fringes..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sad that only the fringes care about the Constitution these days.....
Haley does not want to MAGA.
She is a globalist.
NO. NO. NO.
Oh, I think he gets it.
The NR has a history with the CIA that goes back to Buckley.
If it does happen, we’ll know that the Javanka political idiocy has struck again.
Well, no it doesn’t.
Should the Secretary of State have an NBC standard?
The 12th Amendment specifies the NBC qualifications of the VP, but says nothing about anyone in the line of succession, which is up to Congress. Those in the line of succession that don’t meet the NBC standard are simply bypassed.
I guess you’re right, if they are not qualified, they just get skipped until they get someone who is.
I mean, back when we upheld the Constitution.
How about no? How does NO sound to you?
It’s no surprise the NeverTrumper National Review would propose something stupid like this.
NO! Jim Jordan for Speaker! They’re getting nervous. Support must be building for Jordan.
We really are in that bad of a situation.
The Dems almost certainly will in the future try to install their Speaker or even some turncoat Secretary of State (Ref: Colin Powell, Rex Tillerson) as president through various kinds of machinations.
However, I believe you still can become Speaker. Here is how it may work: If line of succession got down to Speaker, and the Speaker is deemed to not be a Natural Born citizen, they would be skipped and the next in line, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, would become the President.
I say may, because the line of succession does not even broach the subject of what happens if any in line of succession is deemed to not be a Natural Born citizen. Would could be the case as only the President is limited to being a Natural Born citizen. The others could be naturalized citizens.
435 congress critters, how ya gonna deadlock that? Pull a Solomon and cut the last one in half?
John Fund is an asshole that writes only to take up space, collect a paycheck and pollute the air with C02.
What a crappy article.
Some one else pointed out that there are provisions for skipping those not qualified.
