Here's the Cable Act. It says nothing about creating a new class or subcategory of citizen. It addresses women who marry foreigners and then move overseas. Either they stay a citizen or they lose their citizenship. No in-between status, or new category created.
The only thing that can happen is if she marries a foreigner and resides for 2 or more years in her husband's home or territories - she loses her citizenship. Or if she resides for 5 or more years continuously in a nation of which neither she or her husband is a citizen, in which case she is still a citizen but considered a naturalized one. No loss of citizenship.
No new creation of a subcategory, no new citizenship status created. There is still either natural citizen, naturalized citizen, or non-citizen.
And it says nothing about children at all. As far as I can tell, the Cable Act in no way relates to any eligibility question for Rubio or Obama.
Not to mention it was repealed in 1936, so it's a moot point anyway, at least as far as Rubio and Obama are concerned.

God you are dense! If you do not think the citizenship status of women affects the citizenship status of their children then you are beyond help. Likewise you keep ignoring the fact that I have said it is the unintended consequences of both the Cable act AND the Women's Citizenship act of 1934. In these discussions the two acts are normally discussed as a pair. (They are interrelated.)
The Schism, (and that is what it is) was created by congress GRANTING women the right to pass on citizenship by themselves, and REMOVING the right of men to automatically naturalize their wives.
Here is the Act. READ the d@mn thing and learn something!
