"Gingrich responds: “Sure. I think he’d make a good president someday. He’s a very very smart, very competent person.”

It's time to totally clean house when the Constitution is so openly disregarded. Rubio is ineligible to serve as VP or President.

No, he is eligible. Rubio was born in Florida and his parents had been naturalized by the time of his birth.

The Constitution does NOT define “natural born citizen” nor does Emerich de Vattel, who wrote before the founding of the USA.

He described NBC for Switzerland as having two citizen parents, but went on to note other countries held different definitions, notably Britain.

So natural born equals native born, or born to two citizen parents abroad.
