Quick look at Wikipedia says this: “Marco Antonio Rubio (born May 28, 1971) ... Rubio was born in Miami, Florida, the second son and third child of Mario Rubio (1927–2010) and Oria Garcia (born 1931). His parents were Cubans who had emigrated to the United States in 1956 and were later naturalized as U.S. citizens in 1975.”
Rubio was NOT born to US Citizens in 1971 (although they became so later in 1975), hence he’s not NBC by definition. One would have to do a tortured reading of the Constitution to say he is. Not that I don’t like him. I love him in fact.
His VP-ness would blow our case re: Obama’s NBC status, however. The only exception being that Rubio’s parents became citizens where Obama’s father never did become a US citizen. A technicality though. You need a clean and clearly distinguished pair of candidates from Obama on the NBC question in order to make a post-Obama settling of the score possible.
And with all the investigative apparatus at our disposal, only after Obama leaves office will we ever be able to make this NBC stuff stick.
Fact is if Obama was ever to be declared "illegitimate pretender" we can up-end every piece of legislation he signed and every appointment he ever made -- including Fed judges and USSC appointments. With 3 branches in our control, he'll have no friends left. See where I am going with this?
Don't want to mess that possibility up by running Rubio - he's unable to step into the Presidency of it ever became necessary.
FReegards!
