Not eligible is not eligible and nothing can change that short of a constitutional amendment. But he should take over Reid’s job once the Republican’s win back the Senate.

Gentlemen, aside from appearing on every thread that mentions Rubio to discuss your erroneous belief that he is not eligible for the presidency, maybe it would be worthwhile thinking a little more about what he said. Every single thread about him gets dragged off topic.

I think Star Parker is right; we have immediate problems to solve (deficit and economic matters) but none of those will be solved until we make a fundamental readjustment in our attitude and return to the traditional American ideal of the primacy of the individual and private life. The government should exist only to make these things possible and protect the individual in situations in which he himself is unable to do so (attack by a foreign power, for example).

That said, I’m not sure that even if Rubio were President, he could undo the monstrous, stifling structure that has been built over the past few years. I’m not sure how we go about doing that.

FUnnie, but it didn't keep Chester A. Arthur from being chosen as part of the Presidential ticket with James Garfield in 1880. And Arthur had a LOT of enemies, especially within his own Republican party. They tried to track down where Arthur was born in order to disqualify him. But guess what? None even thought to disqualify him on the basis that his father was a foreign citizen at the time of his birth. Why? Because this new natural born rule is a recent FICTION.
