When does the challenge for Marco Rubio come?

Come and gone: "Another challenge came from Robert Laity, a resident of Tonawanda, N.Y., who describes himself as founding president of the Society for the Preservation of Democracy and Human Rights, and who has called Obama a traitor. He challenged four Republicans - Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio, former Sen. Rick Santorum, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal - on the grounds that at birth, each had at least one parent who wasn't a U.S. citizen."

How does Rubio fit any definition of natural born citizen?

The 14th Amendment does not change the term, and anchor babies are not in the Amendment.

Rubio would have the least ability to prove eligibility.

Cruz has an American citizen mother—that alone qualifies him.

Wasn;t there a president in the late 1800’s that had a Canadian parent?

When I researched him in the last run I was unable to find the naturalization date, if any, for the father of Sen. Rick Santorum.

His father Aldo Santorum was born Jan 9, 1923 in Riva de Garda, Italy, and arrived New York on Aug 20, 1930.
Emails to Rick and his sister were not answered.

Update.. I just now checked the 1940 Census. Aldo Santorum, father of Rick, is shown to be naturalized.

Mother Catherine E Dughi was a US Citizen though her birth in PA.

Rick was born in 1958 in VA, of two US Citizen parents.

He is a Natural Born Citizen.
