Klayman: To Be Eligible to Be President or Vice President the Constitution Mandates That One Has to Be a Natural Born Citizen. This Has Been Defined as Being Born in the United States or a Territory to Two Citizen Parents at the Time of Birth: Professor Eastman Is Right and This Article Smearing Him as a Racist Is Just the Latest Leftist Trash!

Newsweek has apologized after an op-ed it published about Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), the presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee, drew an avalanche of criticism that it perpetuated a racist conspiracy theory about her eligibility to be vice president.

The magazine added an editor’s note late Friday to a piece authored by Chapman University law professor John Eastman in which he suggested Harris, who was born in Oakland, was not a natural-born citizen because her parents were immigrants.

“Before we so cavalierly accept Senator Harris’ eligibility for the office of vice president, we should ask her a few questions about the status of her parents at the time of her birth,” he wrote.
