“Rubio is as ‘eligible’ as George Washington, Ronald Maximus, and BJ Clintoon. Get with the program!!!”

George Washington was born a British Subject but was “grandfathered” in under Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 “...or a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution,...” because there were no “natural born” American citizens age-eligible at the time the Constitution was written/ratified.

To our knowledge, unless you have evidence to the contrary, both Ronald Reagan’s and Willie Clinton’s parents were all American Citizens at the time of their births.

Rubio, on the other hand, was born a dual-citizen. Cuban based on the fact that both his parents were Cuban Citizens and an American Citizen under the 14th Amendment. Not sure how you stretch that to “natural born”.

We ARE with the program and wish all the rest of you were, too.
