‘all persons born or naturalized in the United States’
Rubio was BORN IN THE USA! What about that sentence don’t some of you understand? He was BORN ON AMERICAN SOIL. He is AN AMERICAN. Period.
What happened is that a lot of morons got hung up on the term "Native born citizen." Here is what the deal is. ALL "native born citizens" are also natural born citizens. However, not all natural born citizens are native born citizens (i.e. born in the geographic USA). An example of the latter is John McCain. He is a natural born citizen because both of his parents are U.S. citizens. However, he is not a native born citizen because he was born in Panama. Another such example was George Romney. Born in Mexico but both parents were U.S. citizens. So he was also a "natural born citizen" but NOT native born.
An oatmeal cookie to the next idiot who posts that Marco Rubio is native born but not natural born citizen. If you are native born in the USA then you MUST also be natural born.
