Republican group claims Kamala Harris ‘ineligible’ for presidency

In the meantime of the election campaigns of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, the NFRA has stated that only a natural-born citizen of the United States can become the US president according to the Constitution of the country.

While Kamala Harris is on campaign and Donald Trump is conducting his re-election campaign as the incumbent, the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) says that the US vice president cannot assume the presidency in line with the Constitution of the United States of America.

Emulating the infamous Dred Scott Supreme Court decision of 1857, which declared that people under slavery were not considered citizens, the NFRA also challenged the former US ambassador to the UN, Madam Nikki Haley, and Indian-born American Biotech Vijayabaskar Vivek Ramaswamy’s right to be included on the roster of a Republican primary ballot.

In the platform and policy document of the Republican group, it was mentioned that the Constitution of the United States of America defines criteria of presidential eligibility with the following words: “No person except a natural-born citizen shall be eligible, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”

Legal counselor Andrew Fleischman was the first person to disseminate the document and the mention of the Dred Scott decision on social network X.

“Is it for real that the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) actually voted unanimously to assert that Kamala Harris cannot be President based on. the Dred Scott decision?!” he questioned.
