Jr. High, 1960’s I had a teacher who was just being Naturalized, he was from Greece. He taught us, and I remember it well. Since he was studying the Constitution, I go with his word. In order to President, (not Congress or Senate, a person has to be born on American Soil of TWO citizen Parents. I have known that most of my life, I will never believe anything other then that.
Why would the Founders make such a point only relating to the President?
A teacher. From Greece. Who was studying the Constitution.
Was he studying legal analysis? There has never been a requirement that both parents must be citizens. Never. Vattel noted that where the parents were of dual citizenship, the Citizenship of the Father was controlling, so your Greek teacher-student was wrong on the original intent front and you are perpetuating his error. The 14th Amendment effectively defines natural born citizenship in a manner different from Vattel in that it defines as a citizen any child born on American soil as a citizen at birth provided that the child is a subject of the United States. IOW the parents have submitted themselves to the jurisdiction of the United States. Dicta from the Supreme Court indicates that an inention to establish permanent residency is sufficient.
Believe what you want, but it is clear that in the case of Marco Rubio he is a natural born citizen of the United States. He was not born with dual citizenship because his parents were not subjects of any country other than the United States. There is not a court in this country who would rule otherwise.
