We are now about two miles past the last outrageous marker. Mark is just announcing that he is compromised too. I would like to see a clear definition from him on what he calls a “Natural Born Citizen”.
He seems to be saying that “by blood” is irrelevant, and “by soil” is all that matters. OK, Mark, then if the Russian intelligence agency decided to plant a mole who would become president someday, just bring a Russian woman over to give birth here. There is your “natural born” citizen. Riiiiiight. Mark, what is your problem?
He first came out against birthers in 2009:

Then he talked about them a few months ago:

“He seems to be saying that ‘by blood’ is irrelevant, and ‘by soil’ is all that matters.”
No, that’s an error in basic logic. Levin implies that Rubio’s birth in Miami Florida is sufficient to make him a natural-born citizen, but that does not mean all else is irrelevant.
Levin was not a fan of John S. McCain III, but Levin accepted that McCain was eligible for the presidency. McCain was born to two U.S. citizens at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in Panama.
