Regarding Duckworth being eligible, I looked into the actual wording of the Constitution, and it states that to be eligible for POTUS or VPOTUS, the individual must be a "natural born" citizen. So looking into that definition, it connotes that if one of the candidate's parents is born within the USA or its territories, then the child is deemed a "natural born" citizen. Tammy Duckworth's father was born in Maryland. So she would be eligible to be Dementia Joe's VP. Also applying this "natural born" definition, that term permitted Canadian-born Ted Cruz to run for President in 2016, since his mother was born in Delaware. And that would also make the Kenya theory about Pres. Obama moot because his mother was born in Kansas.
Honestly, I would really prefer that any future POTUS and VPOTUS candidate be born with the US states (and not its territories), and thereby nixing this "natural born" term. But this would require a Constutuional Amendment.
Lastly, I think we are wasting our breath to discuss Tammy Duckworth as a Biden running mate. Because If Dementia Joe doesn't pick an Afr-American woman as his running mate, then his campaign is officially toast.
