The National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) has controversially cited the infamous Dred Scott v. Sandford decision to argue that Vice President Kamala Harris, along with candidates Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, is not eligible to run for president due to their parents' citizenship status at their birth. The NFRA contends that a 'natural born citizen' must be born to two U.S. citizen parents, a definition that critics argue would disqualify several early U.S. presidents, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Legal experts and commentators have challenged the NFRA's interpretation, noting that it is undermined by the 14th Amendment, which overturned the Dred Scott ruling and established citizenship rights for all individuals born in the U.S. The group's stance has been condemned as an attempt to promote a racially charged narrative, echoing past birther claims against Barack Obama. The NFRA's resolution has sparked significant backlash, with many asserting that it lacks legal grounding and is historically inaccurate.
