Ah, my bad, I misread, I thought they said he was a US citizen. I've seen people making that claim and wanted to correct it

Just for clarity, he's not a citizen. He did have a legal protected status which was supposed to allow him to remain here or at the very least not be deported to specifically El Salvador. Still fucked, but just want to get the facts straight.
EDIT I misunderstood, he is a citizen of El Salvador, but not the US. I'd seen people claiming he was a US citizen and wanted to correct that.
"But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
-12th Amendment
Also, succession skips other people who would be ineligible, as the requirements for being a member of the House allow people who are ineligible to be President to serve as Speaker of the House, who is otherwise 3rd in line.
Oh, believe me, I am in full agreement. This never should have happened, for many, many reasons. I was just attempting to correct what I thought was a factual inaccuracy that does have a material impact on the case.
