He is a natural born citizen if both parents were citizens at the time of his birth; otherwise he is a native born citizen.

Fortunately for Rubio, this is nothing more than a bunch of crap birthers made up.

Such as the judge who wrote the decision in Minor v Happersett.

Call me any name you want, but he's still ineligible. Read Minor v. Happersett. Read John Bingham.

Really, you have documentation on when his parents became naturalized citizen, that prove they were in fact citizens before his birth?

Didn't think so, so who is really spreading the cr@p here?

Minor v. Happersett, 1875:

In obiter dictum, the Court referenced the natural-born-citizen clause of the U.S. Constitution, stating, "The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.
