She is NOT an Article II natural Born Citizen, as the 12th amendment of the constitution requires of a vice president.

Wong Kim Ark was the subject of an 1898 SCOTUS ruling involving citizenship. The court held that Wong Kim Ark was a CITIZEN (not a natural born one) by virtue of the 14th amendment, noting that his Chinese citizen parents were lawfully resident within the US at the time of his birth, and completely self supporting.

The 14th amendment was ratified in 1868. It did not exist at the time that Article II was ratified in 1787. The 14th amendment does NOT refer to, or alter the meaning of Article II in ANY way, whatever one thinks that the framers meant for Article II to accomplish.

Harris’s birth status is identical to Wong Kim Ark. She was born in CA to two lawfully resident non citizen parents. She is NOT an Article II eligible Natural Born Citizen. She is a citizen at birth by virtue of the 14th amendment. I believe that Indian and Jamaican law make her a citizen of their countries too, as does US law under the Immigration and Naturalization Act which makes a person born to ANY US citizen ANYWHERE in the world a US citizen too.

Our overlords have decided that this is not an issue worth examining by adjudication. Constitutionalists know that the NBC requirement is designed to protect the office of POTUS from undue foreign influence, and it is worth observing, especially against an Anti-American opportunist like Harris.

"She’s not a natural born citizen and therefore constitutionally unqualified"

Yes she is.

Yeah I heard he died a couple days ago. I don’t remember him and I was a big fan of Professional Wrestling in the heyday of John Tolos, Freddy Blassie, Kenji Shiboya an Ernie Ladd, the Big Cat.

“Is she even eligible?”

Biden is immediately disposed of if they won and kamala harris is not a naturalized citizen and cannot be president and the line of succession goes to....the speaker of the house! We have to stop these f****g scumbags”

If that succession had been applied when 0 was elected, then we’d have had VP hidin Biden as POTUS way earlier.

As it is now, kamel toe isn’t eligible to be VP either.

You misunderstand the situation if you think that will work

I just got done campaigning for our Gwinnett county runoff election. I met a pleasant woman and we discussed the Harris nomination. Being a woman of color, she said that no matter what, that was who she was voting for.

In order to appeal to disaffected black voters who might lean toward protest voting (Kanye) or not voting (2016), Democrats ingeniously picked the one black candidate whose parents are not from America, whose ancestors had slaves, and who spent her career locking up black men.

Let’s not forget that a big reason Trump won in 2016 is that he did so well with Christians and in the Midwest. He has Pence to thank for that on both counts.

I’m a great fan of Anthony Brian Logan, and he had some things to say today about Biden’s pick:

I’m really tired of all the people on FR (I don’t mean you, particularly) who are quick to be what they think is ‘smart and sharp’ with their snide comments about ‘Amish’, or, ‘Do I have to Look?’. They seem to believe that they are very clever, and gettng over by making points playing to what they assume is ‘the crowd’.

But most of them do nothing to champion the good, intelligent and right-minded Black people who are doing their best, against great odds, to fight against the destruction that democrat policies, and so-called ‘liberalism’, have done to their families, neighborhoods and culture.

I’m not really concerned about ‘Republican’.

I’m concerned with fidelity to the spirit, ideals and principles of the Constitution.

Right now, we have a President who seems to share that concern - and we have many politicians - including a lot of ‘republicans’ - who haven’t exactly appeared to do so in a wholehearted way, for quite a while.

What do you think will ‘Work’ to change minds, if individuals waking up and encouraging their fellows - (whom they understand far better than I, or I suspect YOU can) - WON’T work?

She will be touted as "black" and probably has some black ancestry on her father's side (in Jamaica, not the US), but her skin color being other than "white" owes more to her mother who is from India.

Horrible person--remember her behavior at the Kavanaugh hearings, for one.

But the Democrats have a knack for choosing awful people for the VP slot: Richard Mentor Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson, Al Gore, John Edwards, Joe Biden, Tim Kaine.

So the Democrats are going to try to foist a corrupt, race baiting, hard Left slut on the nation to go along with a corrupt, senile old fool. Makes sense.

Talk to them about conservative principals. Many already practice them but then vote dem. Talk to them about conservatism. They may not become republicans but at least they will decide to vote for the conservative

[Hillary is probably having a hissy fit right about now.]

Don’t worry. Hillary will make her move when the time is right. She needs Joe Biden to melt down a bit more.

That way she can “reluctantly” step up to the plate for try #3.

[I just said to my wife that I don’t think that they have any intention of Biden making it to the election.]

Same here. I expect Biden to withdraw.

To spend more time with family, of course.

President Trump must have Sarah Palin join his campaign team, and let her do the attacking of Harris.

It's not like the MSM can declare she doesn't have the bona fides to speak about it.

It will be female VP candidate to female VP candidate. Governor to Senator. Maverick to maverick, even. They can't hide behind the usual disqualifications for speaking out.

Besides, she has plenty of time on her hands now.

Oh lord no.

We need to keep her on the ticket. She’s the best thing to happen to the Trump campaign so far.

She had an affair with Willie Brown in order to boost her own career and then spit him out when he was no longer useful

Give her credit - she went on to win her election the good ol' Democrat way:

'(In the) election for California’s Attorney General in 2010: “Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley led Harris by 34,000 votes after more than 7 million were counted. But after provisional ballots were counted, she was declared the winner by approximately 50,000 votes,” reports Daily Caller. At one point, Cooley was up by 62,000 votes, and in panic mode, Harris reached out to her good buddy California Secretary of State Debra Bowen, whose role was to certify the votes. That’s when thousands of Cooley’s votes just disappeared.'


"Well isn't that...EXTRA special. President Donny, do you think that was..."
