Marco Rubio was born on May 28, 1971 in Miami, Florida. Florida is the 27th state. Miami is in Florida.

That’s a good point. I may have read too much into it and forgotten about his wanting to not alienate listeners. I’m just stating how it sounded to me.
The Democrats don't need to. They have Trump.
Liberals and the GOPe are telling us who they are afraid of. On the one hand they are afraid of Trump because he has no respect for their rules and PC garbage. Then they realized that Ted Cruz sounds like the second coming of Patrick Henry and are panicking over that. We've got the liberals on the run. It's time to put Hillary, socialism, and Tyranny in our sites and march on!
Can an “anchor baby” with no American parents run?
irrelevant
Marco Rubio was born on May 28, 1971 in Miami, Florida. Florida is the 27th state. Miami is in Florida.
The Supreme Court knows a NBC needs two citizen parents and Hillary will take it to the Supreme Court.
Yes but Rubio has problems also as to his parents.
Exactly. He’s like, “There’s no question he’s a citizen”. OK, fine, he can keep his Senate seat. Not qualified for President though.
BTTT
Cruz never went through any process to become a naturalized citizen. His mother was a US citizen, so he is a natural-born citizen. Deal with it.
Go, Cruz!
Dump Trump!
Marco Rubio is an anchor baby.
Yes he did. His mother had to file papers stating his birth. If she did not, he’s not even a citizen. I am a natural born citizen. I was born in this country, both my parents were citizens of this country. My son was born in Germany. Both his parents are citizens of this country. I was required to register his birth with the State Department. He is a citizen, natural born is questionable.
Quick go to the bath room. You're full of it.
It says parent not parents. Parent can be either the father or the mother.
I am NOT making this up. I know a man who was becoming a NC 10 years ago and he told me this. He had NO reason to lie/make it up, and YES he is very fluent in English and has been since he was a child.
Day 6....drip, drip, drip....
“The Constitution doesn’t say, but the Framers’ understanding, combined with statutes enacted by the First Congress,”
So what is the exact excuse that author gives for Madison taking out that exact definition in 1795. He chaired the committee.
To further quote from the Cato Institute: "In other words, anyone who is a citizen at birth, as opposed to someone who becomes a citizen later or who isn't a citizen at all; can be president.
So the one remaining question is whether Ted Cruz was a citizen at birth. That's an easy one. The Nationality Act of 1940 outlines which children become nationals and citizens of the United States at birth. In addition to those who are born in the United States or born outside the country to parents who were both citizens or, interestingly, found in the United States without parents and no proof of birth elsewhere citizenship goes to babies born to one American parent who has spent a certain number of years here.
That single-parent requirement has been amended several times, but under the law in effect between 1952 and 1986 (Cruz was born in 1970) someone must have a citizen parent who resided in the United States for at least 10 years, including five after the age of 14, in order to be considered a natural-born citizen. Cruz's mother, Eleanor Darragh, was born in Delaware, lived most of her life in the United States, and gave birth to little Rafael Edward Cruz in her 30s. Q.E.D."
They were not American citizens. Hence he is an anchor baby. Another fine misuse of the 14th Amendment.
