Am I right in assuming that if Biden dies(as President) and because Kamala Harris isn't eligible to be President is the House Speaker(MJ) next in line and therefore becomes the next President?

The fact that she was allowed to register and run as VP indicates she has already cleared the eligibility hurdle as far anyone in authority is concerned. She genuinely has been ruled eligible, and the fact that nobody has successfully challenged her status in 2+ years as VP means there is also essentially no chance of making this argument if she becomes President.
Simple question - Did anyone do an eligibility check when Obama took office?
We're teens to make a lot of assumptions based on common sense, but rarely is common sense used in official settings, by design
Yes.
The evidence given for it was forged and any action to prove it false was quietly quashed with the might of MSM and 3 letter agencies. Many people were ruined by their attempts.
Yes, word was that he was challenged by Killery, but imo somehow he out-thugged her, probably because he knew about all the Clinton fam illegal activities, drug and gun running, sexual, and the Clinton connected murders-suicides. For her cooperation? she was given the State Department. Pelosi -speaker at the time- and ? cant remember the other name suppressed all counter-narrative. I dont remember any such discussion verification of Camelaff eligibility except brief outcry by public which was never addressed by any politician or government employee as far as I know. Remember- she was a loser bigly in the primary -no one wanted her then later the potatus picked her after implying he was going to get a black woman.
Bingo. Kamala is allowed to be a VP not because she has "proven her eligibility beyond all doubt" but because no one objected to her eligibility, simply because they all are happy for her to be a placeholder VP. This could change quickly if she is attempted to be elevated.
Each state is responsible for the procedures they use to allow a presidential candidate on the ballot. Implicitly by allowing a candidate to register, it is assumed they are eligible. The Constitution does not require proof. If nobody raises a challenge, then their eligibility is assumed. Ostensibly the major parties do check before presenting candidates, but you just have to take their word for it.
Ultimately, the state electors are only allowed to cast a vote for eligible candidates. If nobody from the Electoral College objects when the votes are being tallied, then they are eligible.
You and I may not agree with this, but it is reality. If Kamala were not eligible, someone needed to contest it before she was voted in on Jan 6. SCOTUS can't even change this now. The House would need to impeach her and the Senate would have to convict for misrepresenting her status.
So what happens if no one contested her eligibility when she was put in as VP, BUT, as soon as they try to elevate her to presidency then every one starts contesting?
The only recourse at that point is to impeach her. There are no provisions in the Constitution for proving eligibility. She has passed the Electoral College vote, therefore they've already decided she was eligible. Her status hasn't change between then and now. If they failed in their duty then, then you can blame your Congressman.
If Congress now changes its mind, the only recourse is to impeach her. Even SCOTUS can't overrule a Constitutionally valid process.
False - to be president one has to be a NATURAL BORN citizen, not just born on US soil. Just because we have been DEFRAUDED does not mean FRAUD is legal.
I understand this is an opinion popular on this board, but there is no ruling for this in law. Currently, there are only 2 classifications for American citizens. Citizen by birth, and citizen through naturalization. Most Americans will consider anyone who obtains citizenship at birth as eligible for the presidency. I do understand why people don't like this, but the fact remains it will take a court case at SCOTUS to advance anything else as the legal definition of "natural born".
