"One need not have any citizen parents to be a natural born citizen - as is the case with Marco Rubio."

I'm curious now. If neither parent has to a be a citizen, then any child born in the U.S. can be POTUS? Are you saying there is no other barrier to eligibility today other than age? Please explain.

Naturalized citizens will never be eligible. There is an age and residency requirement and the citizen must be a natural born citizen. We can all agree on that I hope. Where we part is on if a citizen at birth is natural born or not or if you are attempting to carve out a third type of current citizen.
