Marco Rubio IS a natural born US Citizen. He was born in Miami, and nothing else has any bearing on his being a US Citizen. Again. Where was he born? Miami, FL, USA.
We need a Constitutional amendment that corrects that. NO more anchor babies!
Hello newbie. Rubio’s parents were foreigners at his birth. He sure doesn’t act like an American. He wants to turn this country into a Third World cesspool.
You really should educate yourself on this issue.
It’s no use arguing with these nuts. They hate hispanics. They claim not to, but I’ve read enough of the anti-immigration threads on here to know that those denials are just so much self delusion. Thankfully their ranks are small...they’re loud but few.
Obviously, after over 4 years of the discussion on this website, you have missed the point.
Being born in the USA isn’t the ONLY requirement!!!
BOTH of your parents have to be CITIZENS of the USA at the time of your birth.
Obama’s phoney birth certificate from Hawaii isn’t worth the paper it is forged on. It is not the only reason Barry is not eligible.
The main reason why Obama isn’t eligible——His Daddy was a citizen of the British monarchy because Kenya was still a colony of Britain in August of 1961. Daddy Obama was in the USA as a Foreign Aid student-—he was absolutely NOT a citizen.

Recently, right here on FR, there was an article posted about a Mexican woman who crossed the border, had a baby girl in an American hospital, and then returned home.
Let’s just suppose for a moment that the baby girl is raised in Mexico, speaking Spanish, educated “as a Mexican”, with loyalties to Mexico.
Let’s also suppose that at age 18 she walks into the American embassy down in Mexico and asserts her claim to U.S. citizenship (which she will be granted by the circumstances of her birth). After doing so, she remains in Mexico as an “American citizen”.
Let’s suppose that at age 36, she returns to America (after a 36-year absence), and runs for the presidency (as absurd as that may appear on its face).
If she does, she will be AS QUALIFIED AS MARCO RUBIO to hold the office of the presidency of the United States. No difference. NONE AT ALL (all shouting intentional).
This is not what the founders intended.
“Natural born citizen” is intended to mean something -more-.
Marco Rubio does not meet those qualifications. My opinion only.
But if by chance he does get picked to be VP, we are going to hear a lot more about it.
