Rubio was born in '71. His parents were not naturalized until '75.

The fact is, he is not a natural-born citizen. But in recent years the accepted question has become whether or not you were born on American soil regardless of whether your parents were citizens. The law has gradually been superceded to point that it is ignored. That is the only reason no judge has made a case of it.

He is not a natural born citizen. It is presumable that the law will simply be ignored. But its still the law.

You are wrong.

“Natural Born Citizen” has always meant that you became a citizen at the very moment of birth.

Congres has the power to determine some issues on this matter, under our Constitution. James Madison, Father of the Constituion, even said as much. Also, the 14th Amendment applies as well.

We have two forms of citizenship in the United States:

1.) Natural Born
2.) Naturalized

PERIOD!

You have absolutely no legal basis to claim otherwise. While the rules on how to obtain citizenship at birth have changed over time, the meaning of “Natural Born Citizen” has remained the same:

Those who become citizens at the moment of birth, based on the laws on the books at that time, are Natural Born Citizens.

You have no legal authority at all on your side who disagrees with me.
