#1 - Obama can blame his stupid staff for people not believing his birth certificate. They issued it in PDF Layers.

When you scan something, usually, the output is set to something specific, like .jpeg or .pdf

Once scanned, it comes out in that format.

For whatever reason, they scanned it into Photoshop.

Which wouldn't put it in layers. Only altering it would put it in layers and there was a layer added with a name on it.

Had they simply flattened the image, no one would have ever been the wiser. So like I said, purely their own stupidity.

#2 - Kamala "Heels Up" Harris slept her way to the top according to the boss that mounted her aka Willy Brown.

She also said she believed Biden's victims. How is she going to square that?

Go look at Reddit, Democrats hate her.

I, for one, couldn't be happier.

I gotta say, this birth certificate thing is far from over. Just because Trump made a political gesture means nothing.

There is no Obama Birth certificate signed by a doctor.

...no go find me any other US citizen where we cannot even produce a real copy of the original signed by a doctor with hand and foot prints?

No doctor signature on Obama's fraudulent birth certificate copy.

I would guess in Trump's second term we'll see this addressed.

Re: Kamala Harris is NOT a Natural Born Citizen and is ineligible to be VP
OP, I think legally you have no chance.

But more importantly, it makes no sense politically. If conservatives decide to make this a "thing", it will be the greatest gift you could ever give the Democrats - 95% of people will see "born in California" and conclude conservatives are insane.

OP, I am more inclined to think you are a leftist agent provocateur, rather than a genuine conservative, because your idea is so stupid and would be so self- destructive for conservatives.

 Quoting: Zalinsky


Exactly. OP claiming that both parents have to have lived in the US for five years it total made up BS.

Just try passing that fake information off to try and discredit Harris. The public will laugh it off as more conspiracy theory witch hunt spew and that will definitely backfire.

It does matter. Her parents were not US citizens.
So if the King of Saudi comes here to visit for a few months and his wife drops a baby boy here and that boy becomes Prince of Saudi Arabia, then comes and lives here for several years and gets his education here, he's qualified to run for President? The Prince can be President of the US? I don't think so...

Natural born citizen has a specific definition and it is being born on US soil or territory by US citizen parents!

Not simply being born on US soil. Even if you come from a foreign country and become a US citizen you can't run for President.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78537041


Wrong.

A natural-born citizen refers to someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth, and did not need to go through a naturalization proceeding later in life.

Kamala Harris was born in the USA.

Seven presidents had at least one parent who was not born on U.S. soil. Besides Obama, those presidents were Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Chester A. Arthur, Woodrow Wilson, and Herbert Hoover.

Harris was born in Oakland, California.

That wasn't the issue with Obama.

Obama renounced his US citizenship when they moved to Indonesia. Indonesia doesn't allow dual-citizenship and it was proven that Obama was an Indonesian citizen (so he couldn't of been a US citizen since they don't allow dual citizenship).

I think Trump will go scorched earth in his 2nd term and we'll see lots of Demonrat heads roll.

But if you can read better and have a higher, more adult level of reading comprehension, you would know that a visiting citizen of another country is actually subject to the jurisdiction of that other country, unless they follow the legal process to obtain citizenship that we have in place in order for non-citizens to become citizens.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18024259


Cornell is wrong:

Consider:

First, as to the formal logical fallacy, let us break down what Maskell and Quasius actually said into its logical form. I will use the following symbols: Natural born Citizen=NBC, and Citizen at birth=CAB

All NBCs are CABs.
All persons like Ted Cruz (born in Canada to a U.S “citizen” mother and non-U.S. “citizen” father) are CABs.
Therefore, all persons like Ted Cruz are NBCs.

First, it is a tautology to argue that a “natural born Citizen” is a born citizen. Second, this argument commits the fallacy of affirming the consequent (affirming that one is a CAB does not prove that one is a NBC). Third, this argument suffers from fallacy in that it violates the rule of the undistributed middle (the middle term CABs is not distributed in either the major or minor premise meaning the term has not been defined as belonging or not belonging within the class of NBCs). So, while the major and minor premises are both true, the conclusion, which equates a CAB to a NBC is false. We should see intuitively that the conclusion does not follow from the two premises. An easy way to see the invalidity of the argument is the following:

All poodles are dogs.
Bubbles is a dog.
Therefore, Bubbles is a poodle.

We know that this argument is not valid because, with dogs being comprised of more than just poodles, Bubbles can be a German Shepherd or some other type of dog.

Second, now let us examine the informal fallacy of the Maskell/Quasius statement. Now we will test the truth of the major and minor premises of the argument. To do that, we need to help Maskell and Quasius a little by converting their invalid argument into a valid one. Here we go:

All CABs are NBCs.
All persons like Ted Cruz are CABs.
All persons like Ted Cruz are NBCs.

This argument is valid because if the major and minor premises are true, the conclusion must be true. But while the argument is valid as to its logical form, it is not sound, meaning that the major or minor premise or both are false. This adjusted Maskell argument is not sound because its major premise is false. With the major premise being false, so is its conclusion. Let me explain. First, the major premise, all “citizens at birth” are “natural born Citizens” is false because the Founders, Framers, and Ratifiers of the Constitution did not so define a “citizens at birth” and there does not exist any evidence that they did. Second, regardless of how a “citizen at birth” may be defined, the text of Article II specifically states “natural born Citizen,” not “Citizen at Birth” or some variant thereof. Additionally, while it is true that all “natural born Citizens” are “citizens at birth,” it does not follow that all “citizens at birth” are “natural born Citizens.”

Source: [link to puzo1.blogspot.com]

Furthermore:

Now as to the correct definition of a “natural born Citizen,” here it is: A “natural born Citizen” is a child born in a country to parents who are its “citizens” at the time of the child’s birth. This is the settled definition of the clause under American national common law. See Emer de Vattel, The Law of Nations, Section 212 Citizens and natives (London 1797) (1st ed. Neuchatel 1758) (“The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens”); The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253, 289 (1814) (C.J. Marshall concurring); Inglis v. Sailors’ Snug Harbor, 28 U.S. 99 (1830); Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 242, 245 (1830; Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393, 476-77 (1857) (J. Daniels concurring); Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 168-170 (1875); Ex parte Reynolds, 20 F.Cas. 582, 5 Dill. 394, No. 11,719 (C.C.W.D.Ark 1879); United States v. Ward, 42 F.320 (C.C.S.D.Cal. 1890); United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 679-80 (1898) (all confirmed Vattel’s Section 212 of The Law of Nations (London 1797) (1st ed. Neuchatel 1758) definition of the “natural-born citizens” who “are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens”). This is the only definition of the clause that has ever existed and which has been recognized by our U.S. Supreme Court. The conditions of being born in the country to “citizen” parents are both necessary and sufficient conditions of being a “natural born Citizen.” The definition of a “natural born Citizen” therefore excludes anyone who is either not born in the country (or its jurisdictional equivalent) or not born to parents (both parents) who are its “citizens” at the time of the child’s birth or both.

WHAT THE VENUS CASE SAYS ON CITIZENSHIP

In the Venus Case, Justice Livingston, who wrote the unanimous decision, quoted the entire §212nd paragraph from the French edition, using his own English, on p. 12 of the ruling:

Vattel, who, though not very full to this point, is more explicit and more satisfactory on it than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, says:

“The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.

“The inhabitants, as distinguished from citizens, are strangers who are permitted to settle and stay in the country. Bound by their residence to the society, they are subject to the laws of the state while they reside there, and they are obliged to defend it…

Harris's parents didn't live in the US the entire Five required years for Kamala to be Natural Born.

Trump needs to order Bill Barr to launch a Justice Department investigation of Biden's campaign. Election fraud can get both Biden and Harris thrown in prison

By your logic, neither is Trump because his mother was born in Scotland.

As long as TRUMP's mother was a US Citizen at the time of his birth he would absoluteley meet the requirements.

We know Dems are lawless but we DO have a Constitution we should follow. And I have to ask WHY these parties keep picking candidates who technically ARE NOT ELIGIBLE.
 Quoting: Blue State Rebel


Republicans have ran ineligible candidates as well.

Ted Cruz for one. Bobby Jindal is another. Marco Rubio aws well. Rick Santorum possibly - His father immigrated to the US from Italy and became a US Citizen at some point, but he needed to be a US Citizen BEFORE Rick Santorum was born in order to be a Natural Born Citizen.

They used to teach the definition of Natural Born Citizen in school. I had to memorize it verbatim and have NEVER forgotten it.

Natural Born Citizen - Born in the US to 2 US Citizen parents.

It takes 5 years, minimum, to become a US citizen.

How long does it take to become a US citizen?

Once your application for naturalization is filed, the approval time to become a US citizen varies by person and location. The short answer is that it can take anywhere from 5 to 8 months between application and interview. If you live in an area with heavy immigrant populations, it is not unusual to wait 2 years or more to become a US citizen.

Minor v. Happersett , 88 U.S. 162 (1875)

This case concerned Mrs. Minor, an original suffragette, who in virtue of the 14th Amendment attempted to register to vote in the State of Missouri, and was refused because she was not a man. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in that year wrote the majority opinion, in which he stated:

The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents.

In this case, Wong Kim Ark, the son of 2 resident Chinese aliens, claimed U.S. Citizenship and was vindicated by the court on the basis of the 14th Amendment. In this case the Justice Gray gave the opinion of the court. On p. 168-9 of the record, He cites approvingly the decision in Minor vs. Happersett:

Nope. Both parents have to be US Citizens at the time of her birth. One came here in 1961 and the other in 1963 and neither were here the full five years when Kamala was born in 1964.

Trump's got both Biden and Harris where he wants them.

Everyone needs to inform Trump and Bill Barr. The Democrat ticket is hereby invalidated and Trump wins 2020 by default.

The original requirement of natural born citizen was in the constitution from the start.

Natural Born Citizen has only ever been mentioned 1 time in US law and it was in 1790.
The act defined natural born citizen and someone born to 2 American citizen parents.

Birthright by land wasn't a thing until 1868 and was not meant to apply to vagrants/illegal immigrants.

Uh... but according to your definition, there wouldn't have been any natural born citizens for literally decades after the constitution was written...

Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution says that “no person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States” shall be eligible for the presidency. They must also be at least 35 years old.

Harris was born in Oakland, California.

And Section 2 of the 14th Amendment says that: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”
Under that clause and an 1898 Supreme Court ruling, “anyone born on US soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship

Cornell is wrong:

Consider:

First, as to the formal logical fallacy, let us break down what Maskell and Quasius actually said into its logical form. I will use the following symbols: Natural born Citizen=NBC, and Citizen at birth=CAB

All NBCs are CABs.
All persons like Ted Cruz (born in Canada to a U.S “citizen” mother and non-U.S. “citizen” father) are CABs.
Therefore, all persons like Ted Cruz are NBCs.

First, it is a tautology to argue that a “natural born Citizen” is a born citizen. Second, this argument commits the fallacy of affirming the consequent (affirming that one is a CAB does not prove that one is a NBC). Third, this argument suffers from fallacy in that it violates the rule of the undistributed middle (the middle term CABs is not distributed in either the major or minor premise meaning the term has not been defined as belonging or not belonging within the class of NBCs). So, while the major and minor premises are both true, the conclusion, which equates a CAB to a NBC is false. We should see intuitively that the conclusion does not follow from the two premises. An easy way to see the invalidity of the argument is the following:

All poodles are dogs.
Bubbles is a dog.
Therefore, Bubbles is a poodle.

We know that this argument is not valid because, with dogs being comprised of more than just poodles, Bubbles can be a German Shepherd or some other type of dog.

Second, now let us examine the informal fallacy of the Maskell/Quasius statement. Now we will test the truth of the major and minor premises of the argument. To do that, we need to help Maskell and Quasius a little by converting their invalid argument into a valid one. Here we go:

All CABs are NBCs.
All persons like Ted Cruz are CABs.
All persons like Ted Cruz are NBCs.

This argument is valid because if the major and minor premises are true, the conclusion must be true. But while the argument is valid as to its logical form, it is not sound, meaning that the major or minor premise or both are false. This adjusted Maskell argument is not sound because its major premise is false. With the major premise being false, so is its conclusion. Let me explain. First, the major premise, all “citizens at birth” are “natural born Citizens” is false because the Founders, Framers, and Ratifiers of the Constitution did not so define a “citizens at birth” and there does not exist any evidence that they did. Second, regardless of how a “citizen at birth” may be defined, the text of Article II specifically states “natural born Citizen,” not “Citizen at Birth” or some variant thereof. Additionally, while it is true that all “natural born Citizens” are “citizens at birth,” it does not follow that all “citizens at birth” are “natural born Citizens.”

Furthermore:

Now as to the correct definition of a “natural born Citizen,” here it is: A “natural born Citizen” is a child born in a country to parents who are its “citizens” at the time of the child’s birth. This is the settled definition of the clause under American national common law. See Emer de Vattel, The Law of Nations, Section 212 Citizens and natives (London 1797) (1st ed. Neuchatel 1758) (“The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens”); The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253, 289 (1814) (C.J. Marshall concurring); Inglis v. Sailors’ Snug Harbor, 28 U.S. 99 (1830); Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 242, 245 (1830; Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393, 476-77 (1857) (J. Daniels concurring); Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 168-170 (1875); Ex parte Reynolds, 20 F.Cas. 582, 5 Dill. 394, No. 11,719 (C.C.W.D.Ark 1879); United States v. Ward, 42 F.320 (C.C.S.D.Cal. 1890); United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 679-80 (1898) (all confirmed Vattel’s Section 212 of The Law of Nations (London 1797) (1st ed. Neuchatel 1758) definition of the “natural-born citizens” who “are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens”). This is the only definition of the clause that has ever existed and which has been recognized by our U.S. Supreme Court. The conditions of being born in the country to “citizen” parents are both necessary and sufficient conditions of being a “natural born Citizen.” The definition of a “natural born Citizen” therefore excludes anyone who is either not born in the country (or its jurisdictional equivalent) or not born to parents (both parents) who are its “citizens” at the time of the child’s birth or both.

Re: Kamala Harris is NOT a Natural Born Citizen and is ineligible to be VP
Harris is a natural-born U.S. citizen

Harris is a citizen of the United States and has been since birth.

She was born in Oakland, California, on Oct. 20, 1964, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. Her parents were both immigrants — her father from Jamaica and her mother from India.

By virtue of her birth in California, Harris is a natural-born U.S. citizen.

The Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment provides that "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."

And that's not dependent on their parents' citizenship. "Anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship," according to the Cornell Legal Information Institute.

Parental citizenship is only relevant to an individual's citizenship status if the individual is born outside of the United States.

If a child born abroad "has at least one parent, including an adoptive parent, who is a U.S. citizen by birth or through naturalization," then they are eligible to become an American citizen, too, per U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
