“An individual born to a U.S. citizen parent - whether in California or Canada or the Canal Zone - is a U.S. citizen from birth and is fully eligible to serve as President if the people so choose.”
Its pretty clear that the facts and relevant legal opinion is does not support your statement, Thackney. I linked the first analysis I found but there are many others in greater or lesser depth. This is not a non issue however the media tries to make it one. It is frequently dismissed because it seems over complicated but it is extremely important and relevant to the current election and to recent elections.

Perhaps I should have spelled out that the definition requires a citizen parent and Rubio had none.
You might want to read them next time. From the one you linked to: "Similarly, in 2008, one of the two major party candidates for President, Senator John McCain, was born outside the United States on a U.S. military base in the Panama Canal Zone to a U.S. citizen parent. Despite a few spurious suggestions to the contrary, there is no serious question that Senator McCain was fully eligible to serve as President, wholly apart from any murky debate about the precise sovereign status of the Panama Canal Zone at the time of Senator McCain’s birth."
Your link says the same thing I am saying.
While some constitutional issues are truly difficult, with framing-era sources either nonexistent or contradictory, here, the relevant materials clearly indicate that a "natural born Citizen" means a citizen from birth with no need to go through naturalization proceedings.
