don't think so. much chatter about Harris not being a US born citizen so she might not qualify as a President. perhaps it was for this exact reason she was given the VP seat, to have Pelosi next in line in event Biden got unseated or died.
myself thinks the new house rules allowing the quick change of the speaker role and Gaetz nomination of Trump during the selection proces (to make folks aware he's an option) could be indicative of a plan to install trump as speaker before Biden gets ousted... and wala, GEOTUS is back! at least would make for a great movie!
Man I thought Kevin spacey was soo good in that show. I was soo pissed he turned out to be a kiddie rapist. I can never watch any of his movies anymore and he had all the goood ones.
Even just for optics, Trump needs to be kept far away from all the bad shit, even though they'll still blame him and the entire republican't party for everything.
She was born in Oakland CA, so I think they'll insist she's eligible. It's true that her parents are foreigners - her mother was born in India and her father in Jamaica, making Kamala an anchor baby - but I don't think the rules say anything about that.
Could be a fight but I wouldn't count on it keeping her out.
Except that the Constitution's natural born clause was not intended to cover jus soli but only jus sanguinis. Meaning, the only factor that mattered was the status of your parents and the allegiance to whom they owed. In order to be a natural born citizen, at least one of your parents must be a US citizen (originally father only, but was expanded to mother for obvious reasons and rightfully so). Doesn't matter where you're born, but just to whom. That's why Tim Tebow is eligible, despite being born in the Philippines.
Doesn't matter that SCOTUS previously made their jus soli anchor baby ruling. They were wrong.
So the only question that matters is whether at least one of her parents was a US citizen or was at the very least, subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the USA, meaning had a green card and already renounced citizenship to country of origin or previous domicile.

President McCarthy? I forgot about her foreign born angle.

Interesting take fren. I like it.
Wow, that sounds like a plot straight out of Frank & Claire Underwood’s playbook. Ingenious!

Socrates knows Something.. that is awesome thinking. Thanks
That would be fucking amazing. The left would go nuts and I'd love it.
Trump needs to be in before the financial shit drops over the edge or who knows what they'll do with it.

hussein didn't qualify for president, but that never stopped them.
