Kamala was hired because Joe promised a Black woman as VP.
Ah yes, other than being a black woman, Kamala Harris had no other qualifications like a law degree or being a US senator. Great point.
Well first off Cards Fan you don't know my politics, and why are you being so condescending towards me?
Back at you. Why are you condescending, Mr.
Cards Fan you don’t even know what a naturalized citizen is,
?
I do know what naturalized citizenship means that's why i posted it,
No, you didn't know, yet that didn't stop you from trying to wrongly correct me.
i have for some reason assumed she was born in Jamaca.
Why would assume the current VP was born in Jamaica?

I stand corrected, if as you claim she was in fact born in Oakland and even though her parents where not citizens at the time of her birth, unfortunately PokerNCigars under the current laws she is eligible. I do hope Amendments will be made to stop the so called anchor baby rule!
That's right, both you and Poker didn't actually understand what a naturalized citizen is. I'm sure that isn't indicative of your grasp on politics. Not at all. ;)
I foresee a fight coming on this very subject
Considering it's settled law, and I doubt it.

Cards Fan you don’t even know what a naturalized citizen is,
lol I do too: A naturalized citizen of a particular country is someone who has legally become a citizen of that country, although they were not born there.
Note, Kamala Harris was born in Oakland, California.
Both her parents were not legalized American citizens at the time of her birth! So to answer your question, NO she's ineligible to be President
lol Her parent's citizenship is irrelevant if she was born in the US and she was. Nice try.
no person except a natural born Citizen,
Kamala harris is a natural born citizen.

Actually, she isn't allowed to be president she isn't a naturalized citizen.
Wrong again. Being a "naturalized" citizen isn't required to be president. In fact, it isn't allowed.
Good think K. Harris is a citizen by birth.

They didn’t, if he were, there would be no need for Congress, and at the same time there’ll be no more elections ever in the United States, that never happened and that will never happen.
Yes they did. They literally said bribes were okay, just as long as they happened after the fact. Hey, there's nothing wrong with a gratuity:
Experts say the Supreme Court’s decision last week in Snyder v. United States, which narrowed the scope of what can be considered an illegal gratuity to a government official, could make it tougher to prosecute federal officials for accepting bribes. It also may give ammunition to embattled Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), who is on trial on federal bribery charges in New York.
...
In Snyder v. United States, conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that federal law does not make it a crime for state and local officials to accept gifts or “gratuities” to reward their actions. Instead, he said it is up to state and local governments to regulate gratuities to state and local officials.

The word cult has both positive and negative connotations, it just depends on how it is defined.
In what connotation is the word "cult" positive?
but you can’t beat fate.
You can if you're a president and the SCOTUS elevates you to a king.

And no these are REAL crimes not “ethics violations” or “legal payments to a lawyer”.
Yes. Only because he's not a president, or supreme court justice.
so the Supreme Court or a President would also be held criminally accountable here.
No they wouldn't. A president excepting a bribe is legal now.

lol Yes. Macron will do anything to stay in power. And by anything, I mean form a coalition with another party. Something that until Sunday had never been done before. What should have happened is everyone just keel over and let the small minority of far right windbags take over the country. reeee

A prosecutor accused Sen. Bob Menendez in a closing argument at his bribery trial Monday of putting the power of the onetime chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee up for sale to benefit three New Jersey businessmen who showered him with hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold, cash and a luxury convertible.
If only Menendez were a supreme court justice or president, it would be perfectly legal.

Because it's not far right. Look at how much money the LDP prints to pay for social programs.
lol What? Spending on social programs isn't what determines whether a political party is far right. Plenty of far right groups support social spending for specific members of the state.
LDP is opening the country up to more immigration, as "trainees".
They're not opening the country up for immigration. In fact they recently rejected that notion outright.
As for trainees, well yeah, they need cheap labor. This isn't done for altruistic reasons.
