4. Who Cares Where She, or He Were Raised

Who cares where Kamala Harris, or Barack Obama were raised? An American's citizenship is not based on where they were raised; it is based on where they were born. It also has nothing to do with whether, or not your parents were citizens; once again it is based on whether or not you were born here. Harris' parents' citizenship only matters if she was not born in the United States. My understanding of American citizenship is that if your mother was a citizen and you were born outside of the United States you are still considered a natural born citizen. So, Senator Harris' mother not being an American citizen only matters if she was born in Canada. Her father may not matter because a person's citizenship may not automatically flow from their father.


Maybe this guy knows the Constitution and is just BSing, but we may need to spend more time teaching the Constitution in high school. People really need to know what is in the American Constitution. It is crazy for someone to put such foolishness in tweets. This guy shows a complete lack of understanding of the United States Constitution.
