It would be an incorrect rumor. Both were born in the US.
Both were born to parents who were not both citizens at the time of their birth.
Neither Rubio nor Jindal is a Natural Born Citizen, regardless where they were born.
“It would be an incorrect rumor. Both were born in the US.”
I believe more than just that is required to fully conform to what a “natural born citizen” is, as being Constitutionally required to become president.
I think the status of the parents has something, perhaps much, to do with it as well.
Are there not those who claim that even if he was in fact born in Hawaii of Stanley Anne Dunham by Barack Obama Sr., the fact that Obama Sr. was not a US citizen, and indeed was a British subject (dual nationality with Kenya), means that Obama cannot be considered natural born because he was not born on US soil of _two_ US-citizen parents?
If that is true (and I don’t claim with 100% finality that it is, I’m merely posting what others have said), the same requirements apply to Rubio (and Jindal).
Those requirements are that Rubio’s _parents_ both be citizens (even if only naturalized citizens) at the time of his birth.
The issue has been raised that his parents were NOT U.S. citizens, and thus, he cannot be considered a “natural born” United States citizen.
That’s the argument, again, I’m unsure if this is the case.
But before you say “he’s OK, don’t worry”, you better have the facts straight.
Or the ‘rats and the media will throw this right back in your face.
Just sayin’.....
