I still see an open issue tied to the meaning of "natural born citizen" as relates to Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.

[P]arents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty here is in the context of who can vote and falls short of "parents who are United States citizens", leaving open the question about Marco Rubio, who is native born and whose parents became citizens a few years after his birth.

I see a very strong argument for Rubio being an NBC. But if one parent, and more so the father, is a foreigner it is clear what that child is not.

[Perdogg]

Therefore Rubio would be naturally born as opposed to the son or daughter of an illegal alien.

Rubio’s parents were in the US with permisson of the US govt, therefore this clause would make Rubio, and Jindal likewise given the same with his parents, naturally born.
