Pelosi’s comments come after Trump was accused of not being eligible to run for president due to his Canadian birthplace. Pelosi also criticized Trump’s rhetoric and approach to immigration, saying that he has “exacerbated” issues surrounding the topic. She further stated that Trump has “worsened” race relations in America. Pelosi’s statements have sparked a debate over whether or not the 14th Amendment applies to those born outside of the United States but with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen. Critics argue that the amendment specifically excludes those born outside of the country from running for president.

It’s clear that the debate surrounding Trump’s eligibility and the 14th Amendment will continue to rage on.
