U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, a leading vice presidential favorite for many Republicans, says he doesn’t think that Newt Gingrich or anybody else should be told to quit the contentious GOP presidential race.

In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times, Rubio said he’s not concerned about presidential process dragging on too long, and that the election will be “reframed” once the Republicans have their candidate.

“I don’t think anybody should be told to drop out,” Rubio said. “I think people should run until they feel that either they don’t want to continue or they don’t see a path to victory. I’ve never [believed] in asking people to drop out of a race because I had a bunch of people ask me to drop out of a race.”

Obama can’t set “precedence.” There’s no such thing as precedent in American Constitutional law. (You are thinking of English law, where there is no written Constitution.) What matters is the text, as it was understood by those who wrote and ratified it. And according to the text, as it was understood by those who wrote and ratified it, Rubio is not a Natural Born Citizen because his parents were not citizens when he was born.
