There's normally a page limit on legal filings. Here, the government asked for and received permission to go over that limit.
This suggests the government has much tea to spill, and intends to do so.

Vice President-elect Harris is a natural-born citizen because she was born in the United States. Her parents' citizenship is irrelevant. Full stop.

Courts already have rejected the belief that the 14th Amendment somehow abrogated the natural-born-citizen clause.
But you already know that: New Hampshire told you this last week when it excluded you from its ballot.
Columbia Law isn't sending its best.

The U.S. Constitution says nothing about the president's and vice president's parents.

Every judge who heard an eligibility challenge on the merits ruled that birth in the United States is sufficient to confer natural-born citizenship.

So the Second Gentleman, who was not elected to any office, is supposed to defend a faith different from his own, from an insult that never happened, during a non-governmental event in a different country?

It literally has President Obama's father's full name, date of birth, and place of birth, and photograph.
How you conclude it was anyone else's passport is ... curious.

Antivaxxers believe Hamlin's injuries were caused by the vaccine.
And that his lack of recent media appearances was due to the fact that he had since died.
Yes, they are that dumb.
Kamala Harris is a United States citizen by virtue of a law, the 14th Amendment, making her a Naturalized US Citizen. Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. Kamala Harris does not meet the requirements to be President.. and the Democrats don't care.

It's also a bit of a flex, as the judge gave the government only three days to respond (which is unusually short).
Instead of asking for more time to respond, the government said it could do all that and more.

Did you even read past the headline?
A cert. petition was filed. From a decision by the 7th Cir. Both the district court and the circuit court expressly ruled that the impeached lame duck had standing, "counselor."

Vice President Harris stood for election six times during her career as a district attorney, a state attorney general, U.S. senator, and vice president.
She won all of them, including in 2020.

President Obama was born in the United States and therefore is a natural born citizen.
Uygur was not born in the United States and is not a natural born citizen.
This is not difficult.

Because the district court denied a preliminary injunction, and the 9th Circuit agreed with the denial.
Preliminary injunctions move relatively quickly through the courts.

The ABA: "A lawyer, as a member of the legal profession, is a representative of clients, an officer of the legal system and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice."
There's no way to cleave "lawyer" from "attorney."

That's not the answer.
Invocation of the 5th may not be used against you in a criminal proceeding.
But it may be used against you in a civil proceeding: the fact finder may draw adverse inferences from the invocation.

The two-citizen-parents "rule" was invented when some birthers decided they didn't like President Obama.
Long story short: the genesis of the belief is a book by Vattel, which was quoted approvingly in a concurring opinion in Dred Scott.

Vice President Harris and President Obama are both natural-born citizens because they were both in the United States (California and Hawaii, respectively).
Vice President Harris and President Obama each received a majority of the popular and electoral votes.

Literally every court that has considered the issue came to the same conclusion:
Minor exceptions aside (and not applicable to Vice President Harris), those born in the United States are natural born citizens.
Which is a legal term, unlike "anchor baby," which is only a slur.
