Just to be clear, he had to be born on American soil to Americans for the presidency. Soil is not 'natural born' if your parents aren't citizens. Kamala violates this as well, because people don't care to comprehend the difference. You can't crawl over the border, drop a baby, and have it grow up to be President - you have to immigrate legally, become a citizen, then have your baby.
No you don't. Born in the US, you're a birthright citizen and can run for president.
"Amendment XIV, Section 1, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution directs that all persons born in the United States are U.S. citizens. This is the case regardless of the tax or immigration status of a person's parents."
No, it doesn't. You've put quotes around some flawed interpretation of it. It says "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 subject to the jurisdiction thereof means that the parents must be Americans, not visiting foreigners (non-Americans (non-citizens), and the children they make, are under the jurisdiction of their home country, not this one).
When you're in the US, even as a tourist, even as an illegal crawling over the border to drop a baby on US soil, you are subject to the jurisdiction here.
The exception would be royals and diplomats and their children. Anyone who has diplomatic immunity.
Tourists and people on work visas and such don't have diplomatic immunity. So they are subject to the laws here.
Surely you don't think tourists can come over here and rape and kill and sell drugs and rip the tags off mattresses with no fear of the po-po, do you?
So yes, anchor babies can one day be President. Scary, huh? 🤷♀️
Yeah, you might want to go check on what you're claiming here.
Unless someone is here as a member of a royal family or a diplomat (or their spouse and kids and such) with diplomatic immunity, they are subject to the jurisdiction here.
Or do you think tourists have the right to run around the country breaking laws left and right?
I get that people don't like the idea of the very slim, teeny tiny, itsy bitsy chance that Harris might become President, but you don't get to keep adding conditions to the Constitution to stop that from happening.
As long as you're not the child of royals or diplomats or the like, if you're born in the US, you're a US citizen and can be President one day.
All this "Your parents and grandparents and your barber's second cousin's ex-husband has to have been born in the US for you to be a US citizen!!" shit is just asinine.
Seriously, where did this stuff come from? I never saw it before Harris became VP. Was it on a podcast or something? Or do you just see other people say it and you just repeat it?
The writers of the constitution would not allow anyone to illegally enter the country and then drop spawn who become citizens. Makes no sense especially when looking at the rest of the constitution and the bill of rights.
There is a process for becoming a citizen that any foreigners can work through.
Those foreigners are subject to the jurisdiction of their home nations. As is their offspring. Until thy go through the citizenship application and process.
Makes perfect sense both spirit and letter of the law.
The fact that politicians continually ‘interpret’ these very detailed and specific laws illegally shows that they are complicit in weakening the USA in so many ways.

§ 515.329 Person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States; person subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
The terms person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and person subject to U.S. jurisdiction include:
(a) Any individual, wherever located, who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
(b) Any person within the United States as defined in § 515.330;
(c) Any corporation, partnership, association, or other organization organized under the laws of the United States or of any State, territory, possession, or district of the United States; and
(d) Any corporation, partnership, association, or other organization, wherever organized or doing business, that is owned or controlled by persons specified in paragraphs (a) or (c) of this section.

When the Constitution was written, there were no immigration laws. The first immigration law wasn't written until 1882. Remember that this country was founded on immigrants.
Do you really think visitors to our country, legal or otherwise, aren't subject to our laws? Seriously?
Edited to add:
Look up "birth tourism". There is an entire industry of getting pregnant women to the US in order for them to give birth here so that their child can be a US citizen.
Trump worked to make it more difficult for pregnant women to get a tourist visa because of birth tourism.
Don't you think it's odd that there is an entire industry related to something you believe isn't true? Odd that Trump changed tourist visas for pregnant women because of something you don't believe is true?

‘Subject to jurisdiction of...’.
So many politicians are ignorant of these requirements and the media doesn’t want to change what they’ve been brainwashed into believing.
