In some of these dialogues, it is proffered that in the case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, the Supreme Court ruled that Ark was a citizen “because he was a natural born citizen” at birth.

Sorry, but your 'freelance writer, professional musician/producer, and the former chairman' blew it right there. The USSC ruled NO SUCH THING.

Law of Nations defines Natural Born Citizens to be “those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”


§ 212. Citizens and natives.
As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
Law of Nations

Rubio's parents WERE NOT US CITIZENS when he was born. There are no provisions for people in the process of becoming citizens. You either ARE one, or you aren't.

Rubio was made a citizen after-the-fact of his birth due to the rule of naturalization. When his parents became naturalized, so did he....thus he is a NATURALIZED CITIZEN.

You can rant, spew and insult me all you like. Your entitled to your own opinion.

You are NOT however, entitled to your own facts, and based on the Law of Nations, the conclusion is this;

Rubio is not eligible to be President!
