He is NOT constitutionally eligible to be President or Vice President

Says you.

Since the 14th Amendment was adopted and based on court cases since the 14th Amendment was adopted, a natural born citizen is one born in the US. Rubio was born in Miami. Obama may or may not have been born in the US. That's the difference between the two.

I don't think Rubio will be it anyway.

Sorry, but the 14th amendment has absolutely nothing to do with the Presidency or the Vice Presidency. You must be constitutionally eligible per Article 2 Section 1.

That’s all I’ll say on this matter! Oh and Rubio is not qualified as far as I’m concerned.

You left out a key element, the 2nd one. Two parentS who are citizens....

“...that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of

parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is,

in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen….”

The 14th didn’t change ‘natural’ ~ it merely changed “citizen”
