At the end of August 2024, a photo of a document appeared on the Web, which allegedly deprives the US Vice President of the right to run in the election of the head of state. We checked the authenticity of the certificate captured in a viral picture.
August 21 in the Telegram channel "Sanya in Florida”(497,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) published the following post:“ A CAMALA HARRIS Certificate of Birth of Kamaly appeared in the American social network X. The document was found in the archives of the Yamaisky Hospital, which is located in the same region where her father lived. The certificate is questioned by the legitimacy of her presidential candidate: according to the US laws, only “natural born” can become the president. To be considered such, an American must either be born in the United States, or have parents with American citizenship. Kamaly's father is from Jamaica, mother is from India. In the year of the birth of Kamaly, both were students, which is in doubt about the presence of American citizenship at that time. ” A photo of the alleged certificate was attached to the publication. Based on this picture of the TV channel "Tsargrad"(104,000 views) concluded:" Harris has no right to be a candidate for the US president. " Moreover, in the same post it is said: "Parents at the time of her birth were foreign students studying in the USA, and could not have citizenship of the country."

About the requirements for a person who wants to run for the presidency of the United States, It is said In the 2nd article of the American Constitution:
"Not a single person, with the exception of a birth citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, has the right to occupy the position of president; Also, not a single person has the right to occupy this position if it has not reached the age of 35 years and has not lived in the United States for 14 years. ”
According to 14th amendment to the US Constitution, all persons born in the United States or territories that fall under their jurisdiction (for exception children Foreign diplomats working in the country) are US citizens.
According to the official biographies Kamaly Harris, candidate for the president of the United States from the Democratic Party, was born in the city of Auckland (California) on October 20, 1964. Her parents were students-immigrants: Mother Shyamala Gopalan I arrived In the USA from India in 1958, and father, native of Jamaica Donald Jasper Harris Arrived to the States in 1961. At birth they are They called it The daughter of Kamal Ayer, but two weeks later they changed her average name to Davy. This is confirmed by copies of the birth certificate of the current vice president, which were published on the network several years ago.
As for the new alleged birth certificate of Harris, in some of the above posts the source of information is the user of the social network X with the @samwhoissam username. This account Published A picture that was in Runet on August 20, at the time of writing this parsing, Twit scored almost 137,000 views. Despite the sensational nature of the document, it was commented only by 14 times, and several people doubted the authenticity of the certificate in the remarks. Moreover, not a single large foreign media, including American publications criticizing Harris and the current administration of Joe Biden, spoke about him. But the English -speaking pro -Kremlin blogger shared the picture Aussie Cossack (50,000 views) and a franco -speaking account Brainless Partisans (373,000). In his Telegram channel radio host Sergey Mardan found explanation Such a meager distribution of resonance evidence: "No one wants to break the remaining foundations and finally bury the entire political system of the North American states."
The viral photo captures paper, discovered, as reported, in the archives of the hospital of the parish of St. Enn in Jamaica, was born Father Harris. Who and under what circumstances found her is not specified. The certificate states that it was there on October 20, 1964 that the current vice-president of the United States was supposedly born. However, there is a strangeness in the alleged document - so, neither the original nor the altered average name Harris is mentioned there.
The lower part of the proposed document states that this paper is a genuine copy of the recording of the Department of State Registration of Jamaica. FACHECHERS FROM LEAD Stories project Turned The press service of this department for the comment and on August 28 received the following answer: “The Department of State Registration would like to explain that in our archive there are no birth records of Vice President Kamaly Harris, since it was not born on Yamaika. We hope that this information will clarify all questions regarding her place of birth. ”
"Verified" studied the account @samwhoissamwhere the viral certificate was first laid out. In the description of the profile there is no information about where its owner lives and what he does. According to X, the page was created in August 2023, and by the time of writing this analysis there were only 44 tweets there, based on the contents of which we can conclude that the author of the account supports Donald Trump. Moreover, 40 of these tweets are retweets of other people's records. There are two of the original posts (2 And 19 September 2023) were devoted to Trump's successes, the third (for October 3) - corruption in Ukraine, and the fourth - the alleged testimony of the birth of Harris.
The earliest Russian-speaking publication with a viral photo, which was able to detect “verified”, appeared in the Telegram channel mentioned at the beginning of the analysis of the Telegram channelMordor's voice". There the picture was posted on August 21 at 15:25 Moscow time. This channel mentioned in dozens of our publications and has repeatedly become the primary source of the spread of fakes, a significant part of which was associated with creation Fake sites of foreign media and/or pages in social networks. For example, according to a similar scheme on the network distributed A fake video in which actor Will Smith allegedly stated that he would vote for Trump. Then the video created using artificial intelligence initially appeared on the social network X in the profile, which mimicated under the news account about the stars and where only one original tweet was placed. Then the record was distributed by the Voice of Mordor and Aussie Cossack.
The birth certificate Harris, which was previously published by the authoritative media and whose authenticity is not in doubt, it is indicated that the vice president was born in the United States. At the same time, her parents were scientists, not diplomats of other countries. That is, Harris is a native citizen and has the right to run for the president of the country. However, the reports that Harris cannot be elected to the highest senior positions, widely Dispered A few years ago-for example, in 2019, when she led her first presidential campaign, and in 2020, when she was a candidate for vice presidents of the United States. Then American lawyers declaredthat such statements have no reason. In 2024, similar accusations repeatedly were refuted factor from the Snopes project, It wrote About this and "verified."
It is noteworthy that similar scandals concerned some previous US leaders. For example, in 2011, Donald Trump called on President Barack Obama to publish his birth documents, since the billionaire doubted that the current head of state was born in the United States. In March of that year Trump I gave it the press has its own certificate, and in April on the White House website Published Documents about the birth of Obama, according to which he was born in Hawaii. And in 2019 on Twitter (now X) was published fast, where it was jokingly argued that Trump himself could not take up the post of president of the United States because he was born in another country. The tweet was given a birth certificate, according to which the politician was also allegedly born on Jamaica, like his namesake Donald Harris. In fact, in the document, the place of birth of the ex-president indicates the hospital Jamaica Hospitallocated in the New York district Jamake (In English, its name is written in the same way as the name of the country of the Jamaica).
Thus, according to official and public documents, Harris was born in the United States and has every right to run for the presidency of the country. The birth certificate, which was encouraged in social networks in August 2024, in turn, has an unknown origin and contains details that cause reasonable doubts about its truth. Representatives of Jamaica also refuted the authenticity of this document. In addition, his photo was distributed according to the same scheme as the other Fake President, which was “verified”, was analyzed earlier.
