The US does not allow for dual citizenship when naturalizing, you have to renounce any previous citizenships.
If you're just BORN a US citizen though, you never had to renounce your other citizenship. And our courts don't recognize that other citizenship anyways.
So even though a court in Jamaica might rule her a Jamaican citizen, a court in the USA would only recognize her US citizenship. And there is no law saying that your parents must be US citizens in order for you to be a "natural-born" citizen. That's BS. Natural born just means born on US soil. Show me anywhere in law where it states otherwise, I'll wait.
Look I hate Kamala Harris as much as anybody but this argument is weak as hell.
My wife's entire family had to navigate this process as she was the first one born in the US. If you're saying Kamala can't run, then you'd be saying my wife couldn't run, and you'd be wrong. She's as american as it gets and nothing about her citizenship is any different than yours in any court in this country.
