Biden picks Harris

[polebarn]

This is a party reversed McCain/Palin choice. We know how that turned out.

 

[SAWMAN]

With all the Democrats philosophy's . . the best they can do is come up with two old rich white guys. One pussies out then the other picks a "pseudo" black woman as his girl friday. ("Hey girl, get jore azz over here !)
How forkin' insulting is that. ---- SAWMAN

It'll be interesting to see what moral gymnastics she uses to explain why it's alright for her to be running with a Chester the Molester.

Harris is either grossly incompetent or a liar and maybe both. I found a fact checking post that is clearly being favorable to her. But reading between the lines one can see that something is wrong. She said she was not aware of what her staff were doing on more than one occasion. If true she can not direct an office of responsibility.

People are kicking the anchor baby thing around.
She was without a doubt born in the USA and is for better or worse a full fledged citizen. I am not aware of any anchor clause exception in the constitution. She was born on USA soil.

They’re going to need some catchy campaign slogans to reach the supporters so they may need some input. Let’s see...

I read it differently.. in the language of that day, it clearly does not grant citizenship to one born of foreign parents, who are not us citizens.

I am certainly not the expert. What part of the US constitution are you referring to.

This is what most people believe perhaps it is in error.

Q. If a child is born in the United States to a visitor, is the child a U.S. citizen? Someone I know from the West Indies came here on a visitor's visa. She is pregnant and wants to know the status of the baby if it is born here.

Anonymous, New York

A. The child will be a U.S. citizen. Except for the children of foreign diplomats, anyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen.

The child has the same rights as other citizens, even the right to someday run for President. Note that having a U.S. citizen child does not give the mother the right to live permanently in the United States. For a parent to get a green card through a U.S. citizen child, the child must be at least age 21 and sponsor their parent.

Wiki

The Citizenship Clause is the first sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was adopted on July 9, 1868, which states:

"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."
This clause reversed a portion of the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision, which had declared that African Americans were not and could not become citizens of the United States or enjoy any of the privileges and immunities of citizenship.

The concepts of state and national citizenship were already mentioned in the original U.S. Constitution adopted in 1789, but the details were unclear. Prior to the Civil War, only some persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, were citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside, according to the various applicable state and federal laws and court decisions.

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 granted U.S. citizenship to all persons born in the United States "not subject to any foreign power". The 39th Congress proposed the principle underlying the Citizenship Clause due to concerns expressed about the constitutionality of the Civil Rights Act during floor debates in Congress.[1][2] The framers of the Fourteenth Amendment sought to entrench the principle in the Constitution in order to prevent its being struck down by the Supreme Court or repealed by a future Congress.[2][3]

reading too much into it. Rallying to find votes via skin color, there's nothing more to it.

 

[Snake-Eyes]

You should be glad she was born on US soil, even if it was Kommiefornia, because God Forbid that Dem ticket "wins" in November, if/when senile-Joe takes an early departure from the Oval Office before the end of his term, and if Harris wasn't eligible, AND the witch pelosi was still plaguing the Nation as the spitter of the House, then we'd all be royally FUBAR.

^--- Yup, one long-ass sentence. Suck it, grammar nazis.

If it becomes an issue that dems must address, they will just produce Hawaiian Certificates of Live Birth on each parent. Any contrary documentation will be discredited: It worked before!

[a]ll 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.”

read this in the way it was wrote at the time, and it is clear, anyone born of non citizen parents, here in the u.s. , the parents were not subject to the US.

anchor baby..don't care what the 1898 us vs wong says, it was wrong too...

I wouldn't hang my hat on a magazine article or wiki interpetions/opinions of Law. When Case Law is reviewed, it is of utmost importance to clearly understand what the Decision addresses/determines and what it does not. We should be familiar with the Heller decision which justifiably could have addressed the entire field of 2A infringements but did not.

What do you hang you hat on relative to this interpretation. There is not a lack of immigration cases and citizenship. although one has to admit there have not been too many case relative to being qualified for the presidency. I am sure there are some. I think there was something about Romney
checking on it: https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politi...ican-born-father-was-eligible-to-be-president
Fairly long account
On Thursday night, Romney mentioned the fact that his father was born in Mexico in response to Gingrich's allegations that he is " anti-immigrant," which raises the question: If George Romney was born in Mexico, how could he run for president?


It is clear that naturalized citizens cannot qualify for the office of president, but there is no clarification in the U.S. Constitution pertaining to people born to U.S. citizens in a foreign country, and there is no definition of a "natural-born citizen." Some experts have challenged the idea that foreign-born children of U.S. citizens are "natural-born" because citizenship is conferred upon them after birth.

A Congressional Research Service report published in November comes closest to answering that question.


"There have been legitimate legal issues raised concerning those born outside of the country to U.S. citizens," the report states. "The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term 'natural born' citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship 'by birth' or 'at birth,' either by being born 'in' the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship 'at birth.'"


Romney was born to American citizens living in a Mormon church colony in Chihuahua, Mexico.


Even though he wasn't born in a United States territory or state, George Romney was given citizenship at birth because he was born to American citizens, essentially granting him the status of a natural-born citizen.


"When you're born outside the United States to [U.S.] citizens, you have citizenship at birth," explained Peter J. Spiro, a professor of law and an expert on the law of citizenship at Temple University. "You don't have to do anything to claim your citizenship. You are a citizen from birth."


Romney was the first presidential candidate born outside the United States, and his decision to run against Nixon in the Republican primary of 1968 raised many questions.


"This is not the kind of issue that was decided by the courts," Spiro said. "No court has said definitively, but I think there's some consensus understanding that a person such as George Romney would be eligible to be president."

This is common ploy. Just the other day KH and Biden were discussing how KH and Bo, Biden's deceased son were such great friends.
Now KH is showing off her 'family'.

You know she and Biden are just down at home folks.
