Well, that does it for me. IF Newt is this unaware the guy can’t legally be VP...then again my original thoughts of Newt remain the same. He’s fun to watch in the debates...but he isn’t fit to be president.
If Rubio was born here and his parent was legally here, that is probably the working decision the supremes would use for “natural born.”. I am scared the supremes at this point would even rule an anchor baby to be a NBC. But I will settle for a person born here to at least one legal resident. I think that’s the best we will get.
( I still think Obama was born in Canada to a non citizen and a teen too young to confer USA citizenship)

Does the natural born clause applied to the VP? I thought it only applied to POTUS.
Rubio was born a US citizen, but unfortunately, he is not a “natural born citizen” who is Constitutionally eligible to ever run for POTUS.
I’m defining “natural born citizenship” as being born in the USA to two American citizens. Here is a good article explaining that precedent, which is still in effect.

Rubio’s parents were not both US citizens at his birth. (Nor were Obama’s.)
So, I think Rubio could be VP, but not POTUS.
