Trump: is Harris not qualified to be vice president because of his birth or problems

On August 11, presidential candidate Biden announced that California Senator Kamala Harris would be his running mate, and Harris would become the first African American and Asian vice presidential candidate to be nominated in American history. As soon as the news came out, the attention was focused on Harris’ African and Asian origins. On the 12th, US media Newsweek published an article written by conservative lawyer John C. Eastman, in which he questioned the legitimacy and legitimacy of Harris as the vice presidential candidate. On the 13th, trump took this article and publicly questioned Harris at the White House press conference because of the birth of her family, believing that she might not be qualified to be the vice presidential candidate. In this regard, the New York Times, CNN and other US media have reported on the matter and refuted Trump’s remarks from the legal level. The New York Times also described Trump’s remarks as “racist conspiracy theory”, which reminds people that in recent years, trump has been questioning the birthplace and presidential qualification of the first black president of the United States. Eastman, who published an article in Newsweek, is a law professor from Chapman University. He has long believed that “the constitution of the United States does not confer inherent citizenship.”. Because her parents were immigrants from Jamaica and India, even though she was born in the United States, she was not a “born citizen” and was not eligible to be a vice presidential candidate, Eastman said. It is worth mentioning that Eastman is also known to the public that he has repeatedly failed in public office elections. On February 1, 2010, he resigned as Dean of the Law School of Chapman University to fight for the nomination of California Attorney General of the Republican Party, but lost to Steve Cooley, the Attorney General of Los Angeles County, and it was Harris who finally defeated Cooley to become the Attorney General of California. After Eastman’s article was published, it quickly attracted attention on social media, but at the same time, it also attracted a lot of criticism and doubt. Many jurists believe that this statement can be compared with the “birth conspiracy theory” against Obama. However, trump “agrees” with Eastman’s view. On the 13th, he repeated Eastman’s views to the media and said he had heard that Harris might not be qualified to run for vice president. < / P > < p > “I heard today that she did not meet the requirements.” Trump also said he “did not know” whether Harris really did not meet the requirements, and asked reporters if they knew, because Harris “was not born in this country.”. In fact, both CNN and the New York Times say that Harris is undoubtedly qualified to be a vice presidential candidate because she was born in Auckland, California, in 1964. According to CNN, although trump used the tone of inquiry and said that “he is not sure whether Harris meets the conditions”, he agrees with or even praises Eastman, and claims that Harris was not born in the United States, and once again publicized and hyped this conspiracy theory. In the words of some constitutional researchers, the New York Times points out that Trump’s remarks are false and irresponsible. According to the constitution, anyone born in the United States is automatically granted citizenship. Even though Harris was born to immigrant parents, she was still an American citizen. < p > < p > < p > according to the New York Times, the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution clearly states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction are citizens of the United States and the state in which they live.” In their respective reports, CNN and the New York Times mentioned that in addition to Harris, trump also questioned the birth of former President Barack Obama and the legitimacy of assuming the presidency. However, his statement is full of lies and rumors, which is totally untenable. In 2011, trump said he would run for president. In order to make a show for himself, he claimed that Obama’s birth certificate in Hawaii was false. The implication is that Obama is not a real American and is not qualified to be president. In the following years, trump maintained that Obama, the first African American president of the United States, was not born in the United States until September 2016, when he suddenly changed his words and admitted that Obama was a Native American, but did not apologize to the other party. Today, the U.S. presidential election in 2020 has entered a sprint stage. With the dust of Biden’s running mate settled, the “confrontation” between trump and Biden’s campaign is becoming more and more gunpowder. On November 11, trump first tried to sow dissension between Biden and Harris, and then accused Harris of being “extreme left” and “liar”. The combination of her and Biden was wrong for the United States. On the 12th, trump labeled them “socialists”. On the 12th, Biden and Harris made their appearance on the same stage. They not only responded to trump’s previous attacks, but also criticized his poor performance during his presidency, calling him an “incompetent leader”.
