Can Harris Constitutionally become president? I have read some articles that she could not, if something happened to Biden. It would go to the speaker. Her parents were not citizens? I know the constitution does not matter anymore. There is about 20 interpretations of it. So my Q's is probably mute.

Democrats will simply say the constitution is unconstitutional and racist.

Actually, Kamala Harris WAS born in the US so YES, she can become president should something happen to sleepy Joe. Where her parents were born is not relevant due to her birth!

That is what I believe is true. I did read a few articles that her parents were not citizens. So that made a difference on a elected or non elected? I am trying to find it. Post it if I do.

Chris, I dont think anything to do with her parents matters. It's where SHE was born. Being born here makes her a legal US citizen if I am not mistaken. This also allows her to be president, if that were to come to fruition.

Citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment states

This presented a problem. For in the first debate, Harris had charged Biden with colluding with segregationist senators in the ’70s to block the busing of school children for racial balance.
Harris introduced the toxic charge against Biden with this sweet upfront concession: “I don’t believe you are a racist.”
This Tuesday, Biden made a virtue out of necessity.
He chose Harris to run with him. And did so just one day after receiving a letter from 100 prominent Black men led by rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs and radio host Charlamagne tha God that read like an ultimatum.

What a weak man Ronald Reagan was, when he choose George HW Bush to be his Vice President.
This after bush called reagoanomics, “voodoo econimics”
It actually takes backbone to make a pick like that.
Not a weak man.

JFK and LBJ could barely stand being in the same room together.Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush had some unpleasant things to say about each other in the 1980 primaries. Obama and the Hill had differences("The 3:00 A.M. Call",if youse recall).Yet they all managed to survive and even thrive.
All these politicians know that what they say to each other in primary season is like kisses from their mother compared to what their opponents in the general election will say or the criticism they'll have to deal with if elected.
Naivete running rampant, folks!
EDIT: I see biggestal99 beat me to the punch with Reagan and Bush.Great minds thinking alike!
