I'll give you something easier. Why don't you prove that Marco's parents weren't citizen when he was born. Are you sure they were not? They were Cuban exiles and most exiles were granted citizenship. So, let's see your proof that they were not.
“Yep, I keep asking for proof that it says both parents must be US citizens if someone is born in the US and you keep saying “Oh look at this shiny object I found” and it has NOTHING to do with this thread.”

Just because you refuse or are incapable of understanding what you are reading does not indicate the natural born citizen phrase does not mean what John Jay intended for it to mean or what Vatel’s Law of Nations says that it means. I have no idea whatsoever what the citizenship of Rubio’s parents were at the time of his birth, and I have no reason to ask and intrude upon their privacy until and unless Rubio should ever campaign for the Office of the President.
Perhaps you would care to propose a reason why the Democrats tried and failed these recent years to amend the U.S. Constitution to permit a person not having two U.S. citizens at birth to be eligible for President? The Democrats had to already know a person having less than two U.S. citizen parents were not natural born citizens eligible to the Office of the President, otherwise there would have been no reason for them to attempt to enact such an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
” I keep asking for proof that it says both parents must be US citizens if someone is born in the US..”
The 14th Amendment states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
The Immigration and Nationality Act, Title III, Section 301 (8 U.S.C. 1401), also states, “The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;”
So twice we have seen it stated that birth within the United States alone does not meet the requirement for citizenship, but, one must be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. The only way that can be determined is by the citizenship held by a child’s parents.
Just as a US citizen can claim their foreign born child to be a US citizen, Citizens of foreign nations can claim citizenship for their children that are born here.
Sen. John Bingham, the man recognized as being the father of the 14th Amendment, had this to say on the subject of the jurisdiction clause: ”Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.”
Yep, I keep asking for proof that it says both parents must be US citizens if someone is born in the US and you keep saying “Oh look at this shiny object I found” and it has NOTHING to do with this thread

I hear you, and I want to know the same thing. I can’t believe nobody knows the answer. Ask Rubio.
