...but Rubio’s parents were “subject to the laws of the United States”.
They were here legally and with the knowledge and consent of the government.
I don’t like Rubio and wouldn’t vote for him but he is a Natural Born Citizen.
More fitting appears to be Sec 301(a)(7)
http://www.bu.edu/lawlibrary/PDFs/research/portals/66stat163.pdf
"...SEC. 301. (a) The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
{...there's a laundry list of birth circumstances under (1) through (6) and then the following for (7)...}
(7) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than ten years, at least five of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States by such citizen parent may be included in computing the physical presence requirements of this paragraph..."
First, Justice Ginsburg has in the past said her grandchildren born in Paris are natural born citizens.
Second, Justice Thomas wrote in Zivotofsky v. Kerry.
[ . . . in the exercise of the power conferred by the Constitution to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.†United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U. S. 649, 688 (1898) ; see also Miller v. Albright, 523 U. S. 420, 456 (1998) (Scalia, J., concurring in judgment) (recognizing that “Congress has the power to set the requirements for acquisition of citizenship by persons not born within the territory of the United Statesâ€). It has determined that children born abroad to U. S. parents, subject to some exceptions, are natural-born citizens who do not need to go through the naturalization process. 8 U. S. C. §§ 1401(c), (d), (g).]
>I don’t think the Supreme Court would rule him ineligible.
We didn’t think they would do a lot of things.
They have 4 leftist judges, one swinger (Kennedy), and one guy they can blackmail as needed (Roberts).
They also have the Democrats that want major payback for the BC issue with Obama, and the 2000 election aftermath.
That deck is looking a bit stacked.

Almost looks like one of these.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Published by Breitbart News?????? Big Cruz supporters.
“Published by Brietbart??????”
Is that significant? Somebody had to publish it. And it is supported by the 1940 census (line 77 thru 80) which lists her father and mother as Edward and Elizabeth Darragh. And lists her place of birth as Delaware. And her age as 5 years on April 10th, 1940.
The 1940 census backs up what is on the birth certificate.
Absent documentary evidence to the contrary showing she applied for and/or was granted Canadian Citizenship before the birth, this meets all requirements of US Law to show Cruz is a Citizen of the US by Birth.
Politifact did a piece suggesting that even if she was granted Canadian citizenship, it would not necessarily mean she automatically lost her US citizenship.
