Trump's Baseless 'Birther' Claims Against Nikki Haley Condemned

Despite the false allegations, Haley surges in Republican nomination polls.

Donald Trump has been condemned for propagating a baseless claim that Nikki Haley, his rival for the Republican presidential nomination, is not qualified because her parents were not US citizens when she was born.
Legal experts, including Laurence Tribe, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, have stated that the 'birther' claims against Haley are baseless as a legal and constitutional matter.
The 14th amendment to the US constitution states that 'all persons born or naturalised in the United States' are citizens.
Haley, born in South Carolina in 1972, is a US citizen at birth. Her father became a US citizen in 1978, her mother in 2003.
Despite the false claims, Haley has surged in polling for the Republican nomination, particularly in New Hampshire, where she has cut Trump's lead to single digits.
