Trump: I'm not sure Rubio is eligible for presidency

Donald Trump says he's not sure whether Marco Rubio is eligible for the presidency.

And Rubio says it's just the latest in a line of Trump's "outrageous" comments designed to suck up media attention.

Rubio is a U.S. citizen who was born in Miami. He is, in fact, eligible for the presidency -- even though his parents migrated from Cuba.

But Trump stirred controversy on Saturday by retweeting a message suggesting that neither Rubio nor Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada to a U.S. citizen mother, meet the constitutional requirements for the Oval Office....

I intend to vote for Cruz in the March 1 primary but if I eventually have to choose between Trump and Rubio, I will be a Trump man.

Rubio may be eligible but it really doesn’t matter.His open borders ideas are a disqualifier for voters.

Marco Rubio is a naturalized U.S. citizen by the authority of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 Public Law 414 Sec. 301 (a); therefore Marco Rubio is not eligible to be POTUS.

Sorry...Rubio has already convinced the Rubes that he is for a secure border and is anti-Amnesty. Yes, Mr AMNESTY & OPEN BORDERS has convinced the Rubes that black is white and white is black...and they’re buying it with the help of a friendly media.

Good for Trump.

Cruz needs to call Rubio a “little twerp”, Cruz with the Pat Buchanan look is not as easy to attack.

“He is, in fact, eligible for the presidency.”

Actually Rubio is an anchor baby born in Miami and neither parent was a U.S. Citizen at the time. Maybe he is eligible and maybe he isn’t. It would depend on what a panel of judges in the Appeals Court Circuit decided. An evenly split Supreme probably wouldn’t be able to decide.

Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British Subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

I’m assuming you’ve seen the Robert Reich endorsement of Ted Cruz?

I especially like number 4.

I’m not sure Trump isn’t going to be going to prison for fraud from Trump University...

Not saying he is, but I’m not sure.

A few days ago, it was John Kasich using this fake ‘tea party’ to raise money.
