U.S. citizenship is determined solely by U.S. law and court rulings. British or any other law has no bearing on how U.S. law defines citizenship.
As long as both her parents were resident aliens or in the process of becoming naturalized citizens, then under U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, Harris is a natural born citizen.
Regardless of who the Democrats pick, I'm looking forward to Trump's 2nd term.

Wong determined citizen, not natural born citizen.
The correct Supreme Court reference is Minor vs Happersett
“As long as both her parents were resident aliens or in the process of becoming naturalized citizens, then under U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, Harris is a natural born citizen.”
Wrong. They ruled that Wong was a citizen, not a natural born Citizen.
And Wong got it wrong about that too. And since the courts can’t make anyone a citizen, make law or change the Constitution, children born to foreign nationals, whether here legally or illegally are CINOs. Citizens in name only.
You misrepresent the SCOTUS ruling in United States v. Wong Kim Ark.
Ark claimed to be a natural born citizen in the case. Chief Justice Gray clearly agreed with Ark,as attested to by Gray’s written dicta in the ruling.
HOWEVER, the declarative text of the decision is as follows:
“The evident intention, and the necessary effect, of the submission of this case to the decision of the court upon the facts agreed by the parties were to present for determination the single question stated at the beginning of this opinion, namely, whether a child born in the United States, of parent of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States. For the reasons above stated, this court is of opinion that the question must be answered in the affirmative.
Order affirmed.”
THE RULING DECLARED ARK A CITIZEN,BUT DID NOT DECIDE IF HE WAS NATURAL BORN. SCOTUS HAS NEVER RULED ON IT !!!
then under U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, Harris is a natural born citizen.
Wong doesn’t say that. It in fact says that Wong was a US citizen with rights the same as if he were a NBC. This was an attempt by the court to prevent “classes” of citizenship.
While ALL citizens have exactly the same rights there is NO right to the Presidency. Eligibility requirements must be met. One must be an NBC.
