Good morning, and thanks for your response.
I've spent so many hours researching this, and then to find out that some of these sources are fake is really aggravating.
I really trust Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, and others who say Rubio is legit. I believe that they too have good information, but after this, I don't know where it is, and I'm tired of looking.
I know I shouldn't give up, but I just don't have the time, and Rubio is great, but he isn't my favorite choice.
There are too many other great choices out there.

Thanks for the links. My personal belief, which isn't worth much, is that Rubio was born in the States and his paperwork was started before he was born, but wasn't finished until after he was born. Therefore, the confusion.
It would take a Constitutional Amendment to clear this up, defining "Natural Born Citizen", if I read it correctly, since an act of Congress alone can't change it, and that's not going to happen.

Thank you for your time.

There's no question that Rubio is much closer than Obama in meeting the requirements of natural born citizenship, but until the Supreme Court comes up with a ruling that can logically put aside the definition in Minor v. Happersett, then that definition is the gold standard: all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens. The only legitimate way to get around that is to amend the Constitution by changing the NBC requirement.
