“The Trace,” a website describing itself as “the only newsroom dedicated to reporting on gun violence,” covered the recent Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit in Knoxville. The story stated:
“Many at the summit saw Harris as a threat to the continued vitality of that deterrent, not least because of her perceived determination to confiscate guns. Rallying gun owners to defeat her in November was the chief talking point of several speakers. (Of course, animus in GOA ranks to Harris predates her rise to Democratic presidential candidate. The group’s longtime attorney, William J. Olson, has supported a conspiracy theory that Harris does not meet the constitution’s citizenship requirement for the presidency.)”
Yes, it is true, Kamala Harris is not a natural born citizen under Article II. Kamala Harris was born in California in 1964 to a father who was a citizen of Jamaica and a mother who was a citizen of India. They were in the U.S. on a temporary basis and on student visas to study at American universities. Harris’ birth to non-U.S. citizen parents caused her not to be born with unity of citizenship and natural allegiance to the U.S. Her non-U.S.-citizen parents caused her to be born with allegiance not only to the U.S., but also to Jamaica and India. Since she does not satisfy the common law definition of a natural born citizen, i.e., a child born in the country to citizen parents, she is not nor can she be a “natural born citizen.” See our brief in Laity v. Harris, November 9, 2020.
