Your one example is terrible, because the US would have prevented Sonia Ghandi from being President too for not being born in the country. Harris was born in the US.

If you believe the anglo-saxon majority no longer holds the majority of the political power in the US, ouf.

Anglo Saxons are distinctly a minority in the US, both in population and power. The last two Presidents had primarily German (Trump) and Irish ancestry (Biden). The House speaker has Italian ancestry, while the Senate majority leader is Jewish. On the Supreme Court there is a single Anglo Saxon.
