Rubio doesn't close door on VP slot
The Hill ^ | April 22, 2012 | Cameron Joseph

Posted on 04/22/2012 12:17:21 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) didn't fully close the door on accepting the vice presidential slot if Mitt Romney asked him.

Rubio, who has repeatedly denied any interest in the slot, said that he wanted to "respect the process" Romney has put in place to make a selection and would no longer address it.

"I'm not going to even discuss the process anymore. I'm going to be respectful of the process he's put in place," said Rubio on CNN'S "State of the Union" on Sunday morning.

So what you’re saying is that there is no actual term for it, other than the slang term “anchor baby”?

Again, I’m just asking, not trying to argue.

Because even though he was birth in Mexico, he was still an American citizen because his parents were.... So even though he wasn’t natural born, he was still able to confer citizenship to MR, who is natural born. Rubio, however is NOT natural born and NOT eligible

MORON he was born in this country, has a real birth certificate, it doesn’t make a difference if his parents were citizens or not.

The Romney circumstance is unclear. The arguments in favor of Romney claim that Romney’s father was born in Mexico with U.S. ccitizenship due to his parents being U.S. citizens. The question of whether or not a person who is born on foreign soil as the child of two U.S. citizens is a natural born citizen of the United States or an automatically naturalized citizen of the United States due to the act of a statute. There are many people in this forum who were themselves born or their children born in places such as Germany while their military parent was stationed there. They have often reported how the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate and the military command advised them of their requirements to assert U.S. citizenship for the foreign birth, and they describe how they were advised that the child was not a natural born citizen by these U.S. officials. Their eligibility to the Office of the President remains contested, and the latest Romney Campaign refuses to discuss the matter or respect the requests for further evidence of eligibility.

Whether or not U.S. citizenship was retained and nautral born citizenship was denied by a circumstance of natural born allegiance to Mexico, the child may or probably still fails to qualify as a natural born citizen due to the any U.S. citizenship being based upon the act of a statute that negates natural born citizenship. Again, this is a very contested area of natural law.

I suspect the DNC favors Rubio as a Republican candidate and infiltrator into the RINO contingent.

Uh, yes, Rubio DID close the door on VP slot:

Rubio Wants GOP DREAM Act in Place in Time for Fall College Semester

That moron wants to reward illegal alien parents who snuck into America by coddling their kids. Yeah, that's just what illegal aliens need - - another magnet to entice them to sneak in and have kids here. Yikes. Go away, Rubio.

So, the fact that the Founding Fathers had to use special language grandfathering themselves and their children born before the adoption of the Constitution into eligibility is a figment of our imagnination and does not really exist? You name call us a MORON, yet we have to look at your words and you and ask what kind of person uses those kinds of abusive language and ignores the plain wording of the Constitution in which they make ineligible any person born after the adoption of the Constitution born with allegiance to a foreign sovereign.

Watch it noob.

If your assertion is correct, Putin could bring his wife over here to pop out a kid who by your MORONIC logic could later be eligible for POTUS, right?

Are you stupid or just a troll?

I see you are quite new to this forum, Pirsig289, and have yet to learn not to call another FReeper a derogatory name in place of actually making a cogent argument. You also may want to check your facts about eligibility before spouting off.

They claimed to have retained their U.S. citizenship, but no one has any evidence to document the fact that they never surrendered or forfeited their U.S. citizenship after emigrating to Mexico and immigrating back into the United States as refugees from the Mexican revolutionaries. So far, all we have are unsubstantiated claims by the Romney family and their supporters.

Furthermore, they disregard the past practice of the U.S. Government advising U.S. military families that their foreign born children of U.S. citizen are not natural born citizens. This was done by officers of the U.S. Government in the 1945-1980 era before ignoring the eligibility issue became popular.

WhiskeyX that is exactly why I do not care to have rubio as the v.p. candidate.
IF amnesty is allowed again it will ensure another 60 million latins come over the border due to family ties to said illegals.
In other words you allow one guat in they will ahve another 35 family members who will come and get on assistance each bringing another 35.

The Birth Bozos have latched onto the term "Native Born" and turned it into something that its NOT. Native Born is merely a subset of Natural Born. For example, George Romney was Natural Born but not Native Born because both of his parents were American citizens at the time of his birth in Mexico. OTOH, his son Mitt Romney is both Natural Born and Native Born because he was born in the USA as was Marco Rubio.

There is NO separate Native Born category. There are ONLY two types of US citizens: Natural Born and Naturalized.

Wrong, he’s invalid for the office for the SAME reason Obombie is, NOT a “Natural Born Citizen!

His parents were not citizens, just as Obombies father was not a U.S. citizen.

To accept him as eligible you also have to accept Obombie as eligible, or are you a subscriber to “Situational ethics”, changing what the law means depending on what offers you an advantage?
