"Rubio is as eligible as Ronald Reagan. "

Not having been born to two foreign national parents he's not.

He's clearly a 14th Amendment "citizen" of the U.S....

A "natural born Citizen" he could never be.

Not having been born to two foreign national parents he's not [a natural-born citizen].

Your opinion.

And, if your opinion had any legal validity, can you explain why absolutely nobody raised this concern about Barack Obama? Even though virtually every lawyer, politician, legal scholar and well-informed person was aware that his daddy was not an American citizen.

For almost two years, Obama was running for President -- and it occurred to nobody to question his eligibility?

The birther argument certainly carried weight as it related to the place of his birth and, thus, the birth certificate. But this whole argument about what "natural-born" really means is a self-serving dance on the head of a pin. For all intents and purposes, the legal issue (if there ever was one) has been resolved by Obama's election and inauguration.

If he wasn't eligible, what the hell is he doing in the Oval Office? If any crank jurist was going to come down in favor of your opinion regarding "natural-born", there is no frickin' way he'd do it now.

I encourage you to go back to the birth certificate argument, if you want to make any legitimate progress.
