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 Speaker of the House is third in the line of presidential succession. President, then Vice President, the Speaker.
Good luck convincing the majority of Americans that Kamala can’t legally be president though. That immediately gets brushed aside as conspiracy talk.
I must have missed something, why is she ineligible? Besides the gross incompetence, sleeping her way to the top, cheating in the elections, and general unlikeability?
Been a while, but, IIRC, her father was NOT born in America; he also held dual citizenship with his country of birth. NOT born in America wasn't the problem, dual citizenship was. YMMV!
You are mostly there. Dual citizenship of the parents doesn't matter. What does matter is where she was born. If she was born on US soil, then she is a born citizen and that is what counts.
Natural born is what counts and jurisdiction of parents and location of birth. A person born to one or two US citizens, but born outside the US is also not a natural born citizen, but has to be naturalized. Once naturalized, still not considered natural born, but a naturalized citizen.
