umm.. you need to do your homework, unless you’re trolling

assuming you’re not a drooling troll or a dem lurker... (but I repeat myself)

to be eligible... you must be 35 years old, have lived in the US for 14 years, and be a natural born citizen.

to be a natural born citizen, whichs means you are a citizen naturally as there are no alternatives, means... you must be born on US soil AND be born of TWO citizen parents. if BOTH parents are not citizens at the time of your birth, then you are a citizen but not a NATURAL BORN citizen

there is a difference... which is why the founders specifically changed the wording from citizen to natural born citizen. there is no confusion over the definition and the term wasn’t invented by the founders. indeed, the term had been in use for centuries at the time of the founding

the supreme court even defined it in happersett v minor in 1874.

the 14th amendment involves citizenship, not a natural born citizen.

so you see... there is OBVIOUSLY no way Rubio, whose parents weren’t US citizens until he was 4, could be a natural born citizen.

if you’re now wondering how the current resident whose father was a Kenyan citizen could be natural born... then welcome to being a ‘birther’
