You are wrong.
You do not know what you are talking about.

Not a single elected official agrees with you.
Not a single judge agrees with you.
Not a single conservative legal organization agrees with you.

RUBIO WAS BORN ON AMERICAN SOIL
RUBIO IS A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN!

You are wrong.
It is not at all “conservative” to bend, twist and distort the law of this country to achieve a desired end result.
Obama, if born in this country, IS a natural born citizen.

Marco Rubio IS A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN!


“It is an established maxim, received by all political writers that every person owes a natural allegiance to the government of that country in which he is born. Allegiance is defined to be a tie, that binds the subject to the state, and in consequence of his obedience, he is entitled to protection… The children of aliens, born in this state, are considered as natural born subjects, and have the same rights with the rest of the citizens.”
Zephaniah Swift, A system of the laws of the state of Connecticut: in six books, Volumes 1-2 of A System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut: pg. 163,167 (1795)

The following is an enormous list of legal citations, from Obama operatives, but you need to know what you are up against:
http://nativeborncitizen.wordpress.com/natural-born-quotes/
James Madison, The Founders’ Constitution Volume 2, Article 1, Section 2, Clause 2,
Madison:
It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other.

I refuse to bow to your errors.
Rubio is eligible.
My views are entirely Constitutional.

You cant find a single member of the Constitutional Convention who agrees with you.

NOT ONE!

Madison said clearly that the location of birth was the most important issue:


“It is an established maxim, received by all political writers that every person owes a natural allegiance to the government of that country in which he is born. Allegiance is defined to be a tie, that binds the subject to the state, and in consequence of his obedience, he is entitled to protection… The children of aliens, born in this state, are considered as natural born subjects, and have the same rights with the rest of the citizens.”

James Madison said, clearly, that legilation was needed to more clearly define the rules of citizenship.

This was after the ratification of the Constitution, in a case that even you legally ignorant birthers agree was a solid case of citizenship!

None of those cases proves anything other than the fact that you do not understand how law works, how legal decisions are to be read, and that you do not understand the English Language.

There is not a case, anywhere, that says you MUST have two citizen parents and be born on US Soil to qualify.

-—you can find a case that says you ARE a Natural Born Citizen if you do have two citizen parents, but you can find NO COURT CASE, ANYWHERE THAT SAYS YOU ARE NOT A CITIZEN IF YOU DONT HAVE TWO CITIZEN PARENTS!

You need to learn the difference between inclusive and exclusive language. Clearly, you don’t know how to read.

You are wrong.

If you’re going to spam the thread, at least fix that first link so it brings up your reference to Zephaniah Swift. Who the hell is he??
