Among the candidates who debated is Tulsi Gabbard, the House of Representative member from the second congressional district of Hawaii. Many seem to believe that Gabbard won the debate.
However, none of that matters. Like fellow Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris, Gabbard likely is an illegal candidate and never could swear the oath of office of the presidency of United States.
Tulsi Gabbard was born in Leloaloa, American Samoa. American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the United States. As an unincorporated territory, it is a possession of Congress rather than any of the states.
Being under the control of Congress, as an unincorporated territory, any citizenship an American Samoan has comes from the force of law. Currently, Congress designates American Samoans as U.S. nationals and not U.S. citizens.
Gabbard is a U.S. national by force of law under 8 U.S. Code § 1408. Nationals but Not Citizens of the United States at Birth, specifically, 8 U.S. Code § 1408.1
Unless otherwise provided in section 1401 of this title, the following shall be nationals, but not citizens, of the United States at birth:
(1) A person born in an outlying possession of the United States on or after the date of formal acquisition of such possession;
(2) A person born outside the United States and its outlying possessions of parents both of whom are nationals, but not citizens, of the United States, and have had a residence in the United States, or one of its outlying possessions prior to the birth of such person;
By 8 U.S. Code § 1101.22(B), Gabbard still is a national even though through force of law she owes allegiance to the USA.
(22) The term “national of the United States” means (A) a citizen of the United States, or (B) a person who, though not a citizen of the United States, owes permanent allegiance to the United States.
By 8 U.S. Code § 1101.23, Gabbard has been naturalized. Being naturalized by force of law means such a person can not be a natural born.
(23) The term “naturalization” means the conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth, by any means whatsoever.
To be natural born means to be born of U.S. citizens while they reside within the incorporated territory of the United States. Only a natural-born US citizen has naturalize allegiance to Congress irrespective of the force of law.
If Gabbard is a U.S. citizen today, only through naturalization and thus the force of law could she be. Natural-born U.S. citizens do not rely upon the force of law for citizenship.
If Gabbard has not been made a U.S. citizen through naturalization, then Gabbard is not even a 14th Amendment citizen.

Back in 2015 and 2016, Ted Cruz of the Republicans ran for the Republican Party nomination. He, too, was an illegal candidate. See my many works on this:
- TED CRUZ COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE HIGHEST SERVICE TO HER MAJESTY, QUEEN ELIZABETH II, IN CANADA. SO HOW CAN TED BE PRESIDENT OF THE USA?
- THE TED CRUZ CRIB SHEET. THE 34 REASONS WHY TED ISN'T NATURAL-BORN AND CAN'T BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
- WAS TED CRUZ A U.S. CITIZEN AT BIRTH? THE MCCARRAN-WALTER ACT (THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT OF 1952) WHICH THE RULED OVER HIM SAYS MAYBE, BUT IT ALSO COULD HAVE STRIPPED HIM OF CITIZENSHIP
- THE 8 U.S. CODE § 1401 DEFENSE OF TED CRUZ FAILS TO SUPPORT CRUZ' NATURAL-BORN CITIZENSHIP, BUT DOES MAKE HIM A CITIZEN.
- TAKE OFF, EH. IS TED CRUZ IS A NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN? PUNDIT LAWYERS GET THIS SO WRONG, THE HOSERS.
Marco Rubio also ran in 2015-2016 and he too likely was an illegal candidate:

If U.S. citizens would like to have a legitimate USA, the Constitution must apply always and to everyone. We can not have illegal candidates running for the presidency and winning possibly because most citizens are too daft to understand the Constitution, U.S. law and jurisprudence.
