Does the natural born clause applied to the VP? I thought it only applied to POTUS.

Rubio was born a US citizen, but unfortunately, he is not a “natural born citizen” who is Constitutionally eligible to ever run for POTUS.

I’m defining “natural born citizenship” as being born in the USA to two American citizens. Here is a good article explaining that precedent, which is still in effect.

Rubio’s parents were not both US citizens at his birth. (Nor were Obama’s.)

So, I think Rubio could be VP, but not POTUS.

Put your thinking cap on: VP can easily become president therefore of course the VP has to qualify exactly the same as the qualifications for president. Marco Rubio is legally qualified to be a senator but not VP.

It took less than 15minutes for the nutcase birthers to come out of the woodwork.
