RE: Oh, and just for laughs, the docs should include dates of parent’s citizenship.

The only problem with that is this -— I don’t think MOST politicians, justices or Americans interpret the term “Natural Born” as “Both your parents must be citizens at the time of your birth”.

They interpret the term “Natural Born” as this -— What is your citizenship AT BIRTH?

Rubio’s parents were both legal immigrants at the time of his birth, and he was born on American Soil.

Unless someone can show compelling evidence that the framers had a VERY SPECIFIC criteria OUTLINED and CLEARLY WRITTEN DOWN ON PAPER for the term “Natural Born”, the vast majority of Americans (yes, judges included) will equate Natural Born with Native Born.

No such evidence would be sufficient for you and a host of other pretend patriots that infect this forum.

You ask as if those in D.C. give a shit what’s explicitly written in the Constitution as IS.

Simple, easy English that anyone could understand. Not the DEMS, not the RINOs; nope not a damn one of those ‘lawyers’, purveyors of laws upon laws who cannot read nor comprehend a simple contract like the Constitution.

‘Cuz that’s which it is to me, a simple contract. Spells out what powers We the People give to the gov’t for governance. Nothing more. Even gives a way out and change things. But nope, D.C. (and a lot of States) just can’t see to grasp it after ALL these years.

But, shit. Let’s dig into the minutia of what they were feeling, ‘cuz there wasn’t enough in the (Anti)Federalist papers, all the pamphlets, all the XYZ to figure out what they REALLY, and I mean really, meant.

Frustrated? No, I’m pissed. It’s a shame that crack-f*ck in CA didn’t go after those Capital pigs instead; I would have been one rooting for him then too.

You think the Dems will sit idle and let Rubio get past his eligibility flaw? Yeah, right. They screamed like stuck pigs over McCain and the only reason they shut up about it, was that Obama was on the acceptance committee and cut a deal. With Hillary vs Rubio, what do YOU think the Dems will do? Sit still? Let it go??

Face it, while conservatives twiddle their thumbs, the elites/media have already chosen our candidates for maximum failure.

I'm looking for a solid Jacksonian Tea Partier candidate....and that person just hasn't materialized yet, IMHO.
