Small point. Rubio is NOT a “natural born citizen” of Cuban. He is, however, probably a “born” Cuban citizen (I am unsure of Cuban Laws in this area) with the additional status of being a “born” US citizen under the 14th Amendment.

The circumstances of Rubio’s birth disqualify him from seeking the Office of the President. That is the only advantage that a real NBC has over Rubio. Other than that Rubio shares in all the rights and responsibilities of any other US citizen....born or naturalized.

Marco Rubio was a natural born citizen of Cuba because: 1. His father was a citizen of Cuba with a Cuban passport upon emigration from Cuba and immigration into the United States; 2. his father was still a citizen of Cuba when his son, Marco Rubio was born; 2. his mother was likewise a Cuban citizen from the the time of emigration in 1956 to the birth of her son in 1975; 3. Cuban law in 1975 automatically granted Cuban citizenship to the child of Cuban citizen parents inside Cuba and outside Cuba; 4. Cuban law continued to grant the children born abroad to Cuban citizen parents Cuban citizenship upon reaching the age of majority, even when the parents naturalized as foreign citizens with their children. Consequently, Marco Rubio could have claimed his natural born Cuban citizenship as late as reaching the age of majority, or about age 18 in 1993. This natural born allegiance to a foreign sovereign is the very definition of why the authors of the U.S. Constitution decided it was necessary to include the natural born citizen clause in the Constitution to disqualify all persons who ever had allegiance to another sovereign other than the Citizens of the United States.
