Is there No proof of U. S. citizenship for Nikki Haley?
Nikki Haley (Nimarata Nikki Haley (née Randhawa)) was born Jan. 20, 1972 Her father became a naturalized citizen on Oct. 18, 1977—five years after Nikki was born.
Therefore, Nikki’s father Ajit Singh Randhawa was NOT a natural born U.S. Citizen. He was born in Amritsar, Punjab, India. Nikki is not eligible to hold the office of vice president or president. 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 According to Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution, a person must be a natural-born citizen of the United States to be eligible for the presidency. The exact definition of a "natural-born citizen" has been a topic of debate, but it generally means that the person must be a citizen at birth, rather than having become a citizen later in life.
So, if my parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of my birth, I would not be considered a natural-born citizen, and therefore would not be eligible to run for president.
Unfortunately(unless Trump/Q/somebody has reset our laws prior to the next election) born on American soil equals automatic citizenship.
“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.”
That having been said, there are some arguments to the phrasing “natural-born citizen.” Unfortunately, years of court cases have decided in favor of anyone born on US soil (or abroad even one or more parents are citizens and either traveling or stationed abroad due to governmental assignment) are, in fact, natural born citizens. It would take the Supreme Court to overturn this precedent.
Whether you agree with it or not (I personally do not agree,) that is the current situation that we face.
TLDR: the courts have (wrongfully so) decided for us that being born on US soil is all it takes to be a natural born citizen and the Supreme Court ruling, an amendment to the Constitution, or a rolling back of our countries laws to an earlier date are our three only real options for changing that.
Natural born citizenship= birth on soil to citizen mother and citizen father
(regular) citizenship= by naturalization or birth on the soil. Parents can be Israeli, Iranian, N Korean, Russian, etc. and it makes no difference.
The Natural Born Citizen clause is particular to the president and vice president. It protects the office of President from any links by birth with foreign nations. Do not confuse it with citizenship of the masses.
