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?
Rubio is a Native Citizen.
