Parents were
Mario Rubio born in Cuba, naturalized Nov. 5, 1975.
Oria Garcia born in Cuba, naturalized Nov. 5, 1975.

Parents were NOT US Citizens at the time of his birth

Marco Rubio is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Marco's status is the same as that of Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, who is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

BTW, for our education, can you tell us what US law tells us that both your parents must be citizens at the time of your birth for you to be considered natural born?

I say let Romney select Rubio, nobody is paying attention anyway to the eligibility laws anyhow. /sarc

But seriously it may be worth the effort as it may draw out enough inspection and illumination upon Rubio that something else may come to light upon Obamas own eligibility status.

I always took “a natural born citizen” to simply mean someone born in the USA, and so automatically a citizen.

Whereas “a naturalized citizen” meant someone born in another country who had to go through a legal process to gain citizenship.

Rubio is not "naturalized". So why isn't he "natural born"? I did a quick search about this. I couldn't find anything in the Constitution, or any Supreme Court ruling, that would imply that he isn't "natural born".

Don't get me wrong. I sure wish the Founders had said this: A natural born citizen is one who is a citizen of the USA as of this signing, or one who was born ALONG WITH HIS PARENTS in the USA.

That would be a great safeguard against foreign influence, which is exactly what is what the Founders intended.

But unfortunately, the Founders did not mention parents at all. So I'm curious about your thoughts on this. Why do you mention Rubio’s parents?

He may not be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, but he IS a Native born Citizen, and that is all he needs.
