I'll start....Rubio...but the question of citizenship comes up. So, I'm still thinking.

Rubio was born in Miami. You really think the Supreme Court would swear in Barack Obama but not Marco Rubio?

Precedent, whether one agrees with it or not, has already been set. Rubio's got no worries, and it would be beyond comedy for the DNC to complain.

Obama’s mother was a citizen....Neither of Rubio’s parents were citizens when he was born.

Even if they DID complain, he could run as the VP until it was decided by the supreme court.

Nothing in the Constitution requires your parents to be born in the U.S.

President Chester A. Arthur's father, William Arthur, was born in County Antrim, Ireland.

Vice President Spiro Agnew's father, Theodore Spiros Anagnostopoulos was born in Greece. In the 1920 U.S. Census, after Spiro was born in the U.S., his father was still listed as a legal alien.
