Fact Check: Kamala Harris Is Eligible to Run for US President, Despite Parents Being Foreign-BornClaim:U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris cannot be president because her parents were not natural-born U.S. citizens, or naturalized citizens, at the time of her birth. The individual must have been born in the United States or born to a parent who is a citizen of the United States. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS):A person born in the United States to a foreign diplomatic officer accredited to the United States is not subject to the jurisdiction of United States law. Therefore, that person cannot be considered a U.S. citizen at birth under the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Accessed 22 July 2024.
