I myself have speculated that what could be happening in this movie we're watching is that Biden wil be 25th'd and because Kamala isn't eligible (this eligibility opinion may end up in the courts) that speaker of the house will become president. before it's time for the speaker to be anointed president the house will use the new rule to recall a speaker (I'd think McCarthy would be in on and supportive of this speakership swaparoo), and install GEOTUS. many have argued that Harris is eligible and/or that constitution doesn't allow this or whatever. here at GAW we see real info so i took it upon myself to do a little research just to answer the question of whether Harris is eligible. if anyone wishes to, or already has analyzed why and where the constitution allows or doesn't allow the bypassing of an ineligible VP please feel free and let the community know what you dig up.
links to my following statements/arguments are at the bottom.
Obama's BS/faux birth certificate claims he was born in Hawaii and his mom was born in Kansas while dad born in Kenya. this is the one he produced to try to quiet GEOTUS. perhaps Trump was teeing up this Harris scenario back during his "birther" days. i don't doubt anything these days ao certainly wouldn't doubt that Trump and Nikola Tesla could have time traveled. Anyway, back to it. Harris story conversely would seem to indicate, based on wiki, her parents were both foreign born with her mom from India and dad from British Jamaica. so we're talking apples and oranges when one says she can be president because Obama was. he allegedly had a US born parent making him allegedly a natural born citizen by any standard I've researched. requirements to be president include "natural-born US citizen", which seems to mean she had to have been born to a US citizen without having had to go through a naturilization proceeding after birth or so Cornell article opinion suggests. USA Today, a known purveyor of garbage, "analyzed" whether Harris could become president and determined she could, but this article also seems to acknowledge that her parents were not citizens when she was born in CA. instead the article defines natural born citizen differently. lastly, the constitution apparently doesn't have requirements of eligibility for a VP, however the 12th Amendment does read that a VP must meet the eligibility requirements of the Presidency. how enforceable is the 12th A over the constitution? can Harris's status as a natural-born citizen still be challenged or is it a case of laches where this eligibility needed to have already been challenged to have reserved this right? all good questions. me thinks it's far from black and white and I lean toward her not being eligible.
so what say you about whether she is a natural born citizen and eligible? I say nay, and welcome back GEOTUS!

If the VP is there to template the president in any event, how could we have a VP that cannot fit the bill. That is probably unconstitutional to begin with.
Unfortunately, after reading all the posts here, I still come up with the following premise.... They are Democrats and have you seen ONE DAMN LAW THAT HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THEM?
So, Kamala could be an alien from Mars and the Democrats will not do anything to deprive her of her ascending to the role of Fake President!
And until the Republicans grow some damn balls she will reign unhindered!
Ouchie,but true
I believe the 12th Amendment suggests that the VP should meet the requirements to be president but I'm not aware of any test to this effect. her appointment as VP, if she's found not to be a natural-born citizen, would be unconstitutional. I'm just spitballing here, but as we know the VP is virtually an empty suit and claims by voters against Harris's eligibility seemed to be found to lack standing, meaning in this matter the voters harms weren't significant enough or particularized (see case link above from Raritan). since becoming VP what has Harris done to particularly harm anyone? cast deciding votes in the Senate? well, if it weren't her but instead another Democrat VP pick, would the harm be reasonably expected to go away? highly doubtful. legal standing in the courts up to this point may have been a high hurdle to overcome. if however she stands to become president there are clear harms that hopefully could be claimed which would get this matter past standing and bring this matter to trial thereby forcing the courts to ultimately decide what the definition of a "natural-born US citizen" is and if Harris meets that definition
