Now's the time, frens - Harris is ineligible to run for President because her parents were not US citizens at the time of her birth. Spread it far and wide!

Seems pretty clear
You did not give a link to source your quote.
It seems to date prior to the 14th Amendment.
If it applied to Harris it would have applied in 2020 when she was VP.
Exactly as listed above my reply

Scroll down a few paragraphs
"The Constitution does not expressly define “natural born” nor has the Supreme Court ever ruled precisely upon its meaning."
So who says it is defined as "a citizen whose parents were US citizens at the time of birth"?
And SCOTUS already ruled in United States v. Wong Kim Ark that "anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship".
So yes, she is a "natural born citizen" and as such, as much as it pains me to say it, is eligible to be president.
I believe still can be lawsuited because Wong decision was only for citizenship and court did not make any ruling regarding for eligibility for presidential office requirements. I could see white hats may even use her anchor baby status to overturn the Wong decision, which was a terrible precedent.
"...is a natural born citizen..." No, SCOTUS ruled that they were U.S. citizens. That is not the same as a "natural born citizen."
I might have been confused about your point.
Harris was born in the US and thus is a natural born citizen, a citizen at birth.
Thus she was eligible in 2020 and is eligible now.
You may be right.
