The conclusions in the article aren't supported by the links they themselves reference.
As an example,.. they state in the article that,..
" United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. "
But if you bother to open the link,.. the case doesn't say that at all. Instead it says this,... [[The conclusion at the very end)
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/169/649/
The court ordered Wong Kim Ark to be discharged, upon the ground that he was a citizen of the United States. 1 Fed.Rep. 382. The United States appealed to this court, and the appellee was admitted to bail pending the appeal.
Notice it says the court concluded that Wong Kim Ark was a CITIZEN,.. and never declares him a Natural Born Citizen.
You can't just read the headlines.
And the Harvard Law Review is just a newspaper written by students,.. it's not a court of law. And that last link is just silly. A phony Fact Check by an anonymous writer at the Socialist rag USA today. Hardly a source of news, let alone a court of law.
This is a matter for the courts to decide.
That said,.. it's not an issue at the moment. Sen Harris is a dream opponent for anyone.
But this sort of thing DOES need to be decided at some point. It's come up a lot lately.
