“...we’ll try to help you understand why the founders wanted real Americans in the presidency.”

Yes. REAL AMERICANS like Rev Wright, Bill Ayers and John F’n Kerry (who served in Vietnam).

Not unreal Americans like Marco Rubio.

Pity the Founders didn’t just write, “born of citizen parents” instead of confusing things by using a well known legal phrase...

Funny how congress and the state legislatures still have a bent toward using “well known legal phrases” in their legislation today.

Even more strange though, is the inability for supposedly educated people to see the difference between “subjects” that were the chattel of the sovereign, and citizens that are themselves a kind of sovereign, capable of creating, and limiting, a government of their own.

Until that government was created, there were no citizens at all.

Does respect for the constitution have to be based on hatred for Rubio?

Logical fallacies seem to be the framework of all of your replies.
