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!

Doesn't matter at least according to the 14th, the anchor baby being born here means she's a fucking American Citizen. Yay for our dumbass laws that have never cleared that up.
The requirement is to be a "natural-born citizen." This was a term of art in international law of the time. It is defined as a citizen whose parents were U.S. citizens at the time of birth. Being naturalized is inadequate. Being born within the U.S. territory by non-citizen parents is inadequate. It is parentage, not territory, that counts.
That is not the case since 1898.

It seems to date prior to the 14th Amendment.
If it applied to Harris it would have applied in 2020 when she was VP.
