Rubio was born a natural citizen, just as Cruz was.
Of course, he was not born to a citizen, so their circumstances are slightly different.
You birther folks need to give it up. Nothing will ever come of this nonsense.
Debate on issues and policy differences. Stop wasting time on this idiocy.
Neither of these men were born abroad to non-US citizens. Neither applied and recieved naturalization via the US State department. Both are natural born citizens of the United States of America, just as you and I are. (Assuming you are)

Well, you offer a convincing argument, and probably have a better understanding of NBC qualification than I do.
However, if both Raphael and the Rube are obviously NBC as you state,...why is there even a question of Cruz being on the ballot?..
Cruz (or his mother) likely applied for a Certification of Birth (FS-545, predecessor to Consular Report of Birth Abroad, FS-240). Those credentials come from the State Department. If he hadn't applied for a US credential, he has nothing in the way of US credential, only his Canadian birth certificate, and that does not make him even a citizen of the US.
If he did put his claim of citizenship before the State Department, for a passport or a Certification of Birth, the claim was subjected to adjudication, a process that involves submission of evidence and concludes with a finding regarding US citizenship.
