Forgive me for being ignorant. Why is she not eligible? Supposedly she was born in Oakland CA which makes her a naturalized citizen. Unless her birth is shady like Obama, born in Kenya, is there something I am missing here? Even if Obama was born overseas, Constitutionally, as long as his mother was still a US citizen Obama has US birthright citizenship. So I really don't understand what all the fuss is about.

I thought so. Thanks. People are trying to strain knats here when there are so many other things about Harris that can be emphasized. Anyone born in the US regardless of parental legal residency status are natural born US citizens - period. Children born in the US to illegals do not have to go through a naturalization process to claim US citizenship. So I do not understand why some people want to spin their wheels and drive down that eligibility road again. It is a dead end and a distraction.
This is a dead end being intentionally being pushed as a distraction. Obamaās supposed biological father was from Kenya. If the Kamala thing had any merit, it would have applied to Obama. Natural born means born in the United States, regardless of where your parents are from. Anyone saying otherwise is making it up. A quick google search can easily prove this.
