because his parents weren’t citizens at the time of his birth. obama’s weren’t either, which is why they had to run him against mccain who also has a cloud over his constitutional qualifications.

That’s a triple backflip.

I must disagree with your assertion. Based upon my research, Rubio meets the eligibility requirements of the Constitution to be considered eligible for POTUS, and by extension, VP. There is nothing in Constitutional Law which would disqualify him to run for POTUS, or be chosen as a VP running mate. He was born IN the United States. Nothing in Constitutional law nor any legal ruling pertaining to the eligibility clause of the Constitution, requires a person's parents also be natural born (or naturalized) citizens. The only comment regarding his issue relates to whether the parent of said child owes allegiance to another country or another government. Seeing how Rubio’s parents had been living in the U.S. for 19 years prior to Marco Rubio’s birth, I don't see an argument that they owed any allegiance to any other country or government.
