Is he a natural born citizen? Not that that seems to matter any more...

Lol. I knew someone would say that. Are you serious? If you listen to the birthers, no, he’s not a natural born citizen. If you listen to the Constitution, the Heritage Society, and precedence, yes, he’s a natural born citizen because he was born in this country and not naturalized. Naturalized citizens can be senators, but not presidents. A president must be born here. The Constitution says nothing about a natural-born citizen having to have parents that were also citizens at the time of the child’s birth. Obviously the GOP wouldn’t be on fire with anticipation for Rubio as VP if he wasn’t eligible.

I don't think he is. He was born in the U.S. to parents who were resident in the U.S. and later became citizens. OTOH, is this the year when the Dems would want to push this subject? I don't think so.

No, Rubio good guy that he is is not elibible to be VP or POTUS. It would be a big mistake to try to run him and I think he knows he’s not elibible and has enough integrity to refrain from running.

Just because we let one cat slip through the door does not mean we should let it happen again. In fact we need to make sure this mistake sitting in the White House is never allowed to happen again.
