Professor of Law at Chapman & Senior Fellow "Harris not leagally qualified for VP"

And here we go:
Eastman , Professor of law, Chapman University and senior fellow, Claremont Institute

If we keep letting these lines be blurred.......

The 12th Amendment provides that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." And Article II of the Constitution specifies that "[n]o person except a natural born citizen...shall be eligible to the office of President." Her father was (and is) a Jamaican national, her mother was from India, and neither was a naturalized U.S. citizen at the time of Harris' birth in 1964. That, according to these commentators, makes her not a "natural born citizen"—and therefore ineligible for the office of the president and, hence, ineligible for the office of the vice president.

That’s a lot of “racist” criticism coming from that professor. Don’t you know that all objections to Kamala Harris’s person or policies are based in racism and sexism? Since there is no other possible reason why anyone wouldn’t want her to be President, clearly this professor is a white supremacist neonazi.

If she was born in America she is a natural born citizen. Look at all the anchor babies here legally.

For these boards this is great; however, I surely hope this isn't the attack platform Team Trump will run with. It doesn't usually sit well with voters. This ticket is so rich with potential attacks that this can be left alone.

It's already been blurred when we elected a Kenyan.

Says she was born in Oakland then the article devolves into litigating previous court rulings.
I'm actually surprised that Newsweek printed that.

Actually not. If that was the case, Putin could come here with his wife, have a baby here. Raise the kid in Russia and he or she become president.
The rule is domiciled here.

If she was born in Oakland, she’s eligible regardless of the citizenship status of her parents.

They would have to live here for 14 years, but that’s it.

She was born in Oakland, fool.
She's a natural born citizen regardless of where her parents are from, unless they were registered foreign diplomats (which they were not).

Not according to the 14th.
quote:
The original Constitution did not define citizenship, but the 14th Amendment does—and it provides that “all persons born…in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.” Those who claim that birth alone is sufficient overlook the second phrase. The person must also be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States, and that meant subject to the complete jurisdiction, not merely a partial jurisdiction such as that which applies to anyone temporarily sojourning in the United States (whether lawfully or unlawfully)…
quote:
Were Harris’ parents lawful permanent residents at the time of her birth? If so, then under the actual holding of Wong Kim Ark, she should be deemed a citizen at birth—that is, a natural-born citizen—and hence eligible. Or were they instead, as seems to be the case, merely temporary visitors, perhaps on student visas issued pursuant to Section 101(15)(F) of Title I of the 1952 Immigration Act? If the latter were indeed the case, then derivatively from her parents, Harris was not subject to the complete jurisdiction of the United States at birth, but instead owed her allegiance to a foreign power or powers—Jamaica, in the case of her father, and India, in the case of her mother—and was therefore not entitled to birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment as originally understood.

Totally and completely wrong. Foreign officials, diplomats, ambassadors, and other consular officials are the exceptions to the "natural born citizen" rule. Putin, as President of Russia, cannot have an American-citizen child merely by having the baby here unless his wife is an American citizen.

No, it is not.

She was born in Oakland. How are any lines getting blurred?
This is just silly stupid talk that makes people who embrace it look foolish and dumb.

Technically, that has never been litigated and is an assumption until the Supreme Court weighs in on it... which I'd love for them to do next term after Trump replaces RBG.

Who’s dick does she need to suck in order to make this go away?

SCOTUS would rule in favor of birthright citizenship, perhaps without a dissenting vote.
