AP FACT CHECK: Harris meets constitutional requirements

False claims that Kamala Harris is not legally eligible to serve as U.S. vice president or president have been circulating in social media posts since 2019, when she first launched her Democratic primary campaign. President Donald Trump has elevated the conspiracy theory that Harris is ineligible, citing the claim on Thursday without weighing in on its validity and then on Saturday refusing to say whether he believes the California-born senator does or doesn't meet the constitutional requirements of the office he holds. THE CLAIM: Harris is ineligible to serve as vice president or president because her mother is from India and her father is from Jamaica.
