Rubio was a citizen at the moment of his birth and that is all that is required.
NOBODY with any legal authority, no elected official, no judge, no immigration attorney, disagrees with me on this.
Nobody with any legal authority agrees with you.
not sure if he or she was being sarc but yea I noticed that the poster has made some posts which gives me thought

“The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”
“Under the power to adopt a uniform system of naturalization, Congress, as early as 1790, provided “that any alien, being a free white person,” might be admitted as a citizen of the United States, and that the children of such persons so naturalized, dwelling within the United States, being under twenty-one years of age at the time of such naturalization, should also be considered citizens of the United States, and that the children of citizens of the United States that might be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, should be considered as natural-born citizens. These provisions thus enacted have in substance been retained in all the naturalization laws adopted since. In 1855, however, the last provision was somewhat extended, and all persons theretofore born or thereafter to be born out of the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States, whose fathers were or should be at the time of their birth citizens of the United States were declared to be citizens also.”

“NOBODY with any legal authority, no elected official, no judge, no immigration attorney, disagrees with me on this.”
There has never been a Supreme Court decision that agrees or disagrees, one way or the other, not yet.
And you can bet your behind that if Rubio ever is nominated, the ‘rat party is going to make plenty of hay about this.
The “citizenship issue” will damage Rubio more than the “Mormon issue” damaged Romney. And I definitely believe that a good number of voters refrained from voting for Romney for exactly that reason.
How would you know since none of them dare touch the issue?
