Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory, not a state. The U.S. citizens born in Puerto Rico are not natural born citizens. Fortuno is not eligible to be VP, much less President.
What the Hell is wrong with this party? We’re morphing into criminal Democrats!

You are wrong there. Children born in US territories are US citizens. Technically Puerto Rico is a US commonwealth.
Puerto Ricans are US citizens. I am 100% certain of this.

I assume, then, that you are acknowledging that Barry Goldwater (born January 2, 1909) from Arizona (became a state February 14, 1912) was an illegal candidate for the office of President when he led the GOP ticket in 1964?

Surely you have some authority to back up your insane assertion? Right?

The U.S. citizens born in Puerto Rico are not natural born citizens. Where's it say that?
Fortuno was born a citizen. Therefore, he's eligible. However, if he wanted to vote for himself, he'd have to move to one of the fifty states or DC. Puerto Rico gets zero electoral votes.
Fortuno is not eligible to be VP, much less President.
The eligibility requirements are the same for VP and President.

Someone born in D.C. would certainly be a Natural Born Citizen. No one questioned that Barry Goldwater was a NBC, and he was born in the Arizona Territory. I guess the argument on the other side is that Puerto Ricans are citizens by statute and not under the Constitution, but, if the issue ever got to court, I would predict that the courts would say that Puerto Ricans are natural born citizens.

“The U.S. citizens born in Puerto Rico are not natural born citizens.”
I believe they are. Isn’t justice Sotomayor from Puerto Rico?
