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!

do you happen to know where this analysis of NBC is located within the Minor case? I did some research but it doesn't seem to be focused on NBC vs naturalized as the case pertains to any US citizen and only distinguished between a male and female citizen's right to vote
also, what leads you to conclusion (I'm not suggesting you're right ir wrong by questioning) that both parents need to be US citizens? I've read certain opinions that focus just on the father but logically it would seem to me that either parent having citizenship would make a child a NBC
Sorry, no going from memory.

“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.”
— United States Supreme Court, Minor v Happersett (1875)

A natural born citizen is born free of any ties to foreign countries. If a child with one American parent has another parent from EvilCountryX, then perhaps the child would be considered by the laws of EvilCountryX to be a citizen, or subject to military service or slave labor if the child visits. NBC's don't have second citizenships to discard before running for POTUS (see Ted Cruz :) )
thx, all very intriguing. this added info confirms and suggests to me that we need a solid legal precedent. while Woodman states that US vs Ark case from 1898 set the precedent that NBC doesnt require 2 citizen parents, Mario Apuzzo argues fiercely that it's not the case. the arguments within this link's comments is exhausting. and the 3 legged test is logical and convincing
