Wrong - Article II, Section 1, Para 5 has a clear meaning - of U.S. citizens - naturalized citizens are excluded, and those not meeting the age or residency requirements are excluded.

Our Constitution only mentions or envisions THREE types of citizens - those who were citizens at the time of adoption (most born as natural born subjects of England, and now all deceased) those who were natural born as citizens of these United States, and those who had to be naturalized.

Marco Rubio was not naturalized and had no need of naturalization because he was born a citizen of these United States.

Currently there are only two types of citizenship in the United States - natural born or naturalized. U.S. law envisions two and only two ways of becoming a U.S. citizen; one is either born with natural allegiance and thus is a citizen at birth, or one must be naturalized as a citizen.

“Marco Rubio was not naturalized and had no need of naturalization because he was born a citizen of these United States.”

RIGHT, to be a “CITIZEN”. Natural born citizen, is another matter. About that YOU ARE WRONG! Original Intent AND the Supreme Court agree that to be an Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, Natural Born Citizen, you have to be born in the country AND BOTH parents had to be citizens. It couldn't be any clearer.

Did you not see the long article a few days ago?
