Born in the US means US citizen. How does that disqualify her? Honest question.

She has to be born of American Citizens to be qualified to become President.

Her parents were Indian and Jamaican. Neither were U.S. citizens.

So she is not qualified to be President or Vice President.

Status as a natural-born citizen of the United States is one of the eligibility requirements established in the United States Constitution for holding the office of president or vice president. This requirement was intended to protect the nation from foreign influence.

But being VP is okay? Presumably it is, because she is VP, but since the job of the VP is to replace the president if required then you'd think that the same restriction ie. parents are citizens would apply to the VP as well.

'Course with the dems doing whateverthefuck they want and no one is saying Boo it doesn't really make any difference.

Therein lies the problem...the definition of ‘native born’. It’s vague regretfully; to me it means at least one parent is a US Citizen.

Unfortunately it has not yet been defined that I'm aware of, in the courts. I hope this will be addressed in the coming year to prevent cameltoe from acquiring office. Dont care if it causes CIA Cruz to be shut out from seeking higher office.

Constitutionally, being born here of foreign parents does NOT make one a citizen.

I don't think that this has ever been ruled on. We have had the 2 edge cases with kamala and obama, and scotus didn't take it up (and they won't because it would be too disruptive and the intent is pretty clear). once they are both out of office scotus won't take it up because there won't currently be a case.

They won't because they're too fucking corrupt! Why don't you speak the plain truth?

wrong your constitution says "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside".

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

You didn't read far enough. The key phrase is in the 14th amendment:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

"born...in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..."

I believe that this has been misinterpreted for a long time. But somebody born here in the USA of non-citizen parents is not "subject to the jusrisdiction thereof," they are subject to the jusrisdiction of their parents country that they are citizens of.

While I hate the idea that anyone born here is granted citizenship, this is how the courts have ruled for a looong time. I think what they mean is "I wish the law was interpenetrated differently."
