To parents who were Cuban exiles. Therefore:
The Government of Cuba does not recognize the U.S. nationality of U.S. citizens who are Cuban-born or are the children of Cuban parents. These individuals will be treated solely as Cuban citizens and may be subject to a range of restrictions and obligations, including military service. Source
Hence, by the standards of US law, Rubio is not a Natural Born citizen, whether we like it or not. You deliberately chose not to address the question at hand in your reply. IMO, that is disingenuous at best. Throwing insults on top as a cover is even worse. That's not very smart in dealing with me.
Rubio is a very attractive leader: handsome, smart, serious, and articulate, but he is ineligible to be President. I'm sticking with the law even if nobody else seems to care. Don't like it? Then amend the Constitution. Ends don't justify means, which means we are not like Democrats. Are we?

There is no need. The Supreme Court precedent set by swearing in Barack Obama indicates that anyone born in the United States would be considered a naturally born citizen. If Rubio ran as Vice President or President, the Supreme Court would swear him in exactly as they swore in Barack Obama. What this means is that you and the Supreme Court differ on the definition of the phrase "natural born citizen.", not that the Supreme Court has broken the law.
The fact that you don't agree with the non-Vitter definition the Supreme Court uses won't stop Rubio any more than it stopped Obama. The law was unclear before, but it is settled by precedent now. At this point, we'd have to pass a law to stop Rubio, not to help him.
What does the Cuban governments recognition of someone’s citizenship have to do with it?
If he was born in the US, he’s a US citizen...
“The Government of Cuba does not recognize the U.S. nationality of U.S. citizens who are Cuban-born or are the children of Cuban parents.”
Am I missing why we should care what the government of Cuba has to say, or why US law or election law should hinge on irrelevant statements coming out of Cuba?
lol..u go girl...I hear ya
