stupid fucken thread gets brought up every week
Natural born citizen meaning is ambiguous, even according to the immigration acts - which have different definitions - both of which were crafted while many founders were still alive.
With regards to Harris, SCOTUS will decide this issue and they can say whatever the fuck they want. And if they don't say what the Dems want then they'll pack the court.
It's a dumb conversation that has but one result, Harris is eligible.
Agree, it's unambiguous to patriots. It is ambiguous in that the patriots definition is different to reality in 2021. There were different opinions even at founding, in that it wasn't unanimous, but otherwise, agree with you.
The Naturalization act of 1790 defined natural born as born of US citizens without regard to where. The Naturalization act of 1795 changed that to such a child being a citizen rather than a natural born citizen. That's definitely ambiguous
If we live through this, an amendment should be added that explicitly defines the eligibility.
