Cool.

It will much harder for the MSM to paint Rubio as a darling of the far right.

He will be President soon enough.

There is no sparring.

He was born here, he can and will become President some day.

NOPE. You’re wrong.

He was born here, his parents were legal residents, that makes him a native born citizen.

See: United States Citizenship and Immigration Service - Citizenship

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=a2ec6811264a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=a2ec6811264a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD

There are three types of statutory citizenship recognized by the government:

-native born (jus solis) - born in the U.S.A.

-citizenship from parents (jus sanguinis) - derived from parents when born overseas

-naturalized - foreign national applies for citizenship

All three types of citizenhip have equal rights. All three can serve in the U.S.Congress, either in the House or Senate.

Natural born citizen is NOT a statutory type of citizenship nor is it recognized as such by the U.S. government.

It only appears in the U.S.Constitution as an eligibility requiremnet to be President.

The Presidency requires one to be a natural born citizen, that is born in the U.S.A. of citizen parents (jus solis plus jus sanguinis).

There is legal precedent in Minor v. Happersett (1875).

“The citizenship issue decided in Minor v. Happersett has been documented as precedent by multiple sources of legal scholarship...the Supreme Court issued two holdings in Minor; one on citizenship and the other on voting rights. That the citizenship issue is precedent, and not dictum, has never been questioned in our national history until now,..that for over a century before the appearance of Obama, Minor was recognized and cited as precedent on the definition of federal citizenship.”

False.

He is not a Natural Born Citizen according to th eonly law in effect which defines it. Monor v. Happersett 88 US 162.

His parents were not citizens at the time of his birth, he is a dual citizen jsut like Obama. God bless him he is a great conservative and leader, but he is NOT qualified to run for POTUS. He never will be unless a new law is written enabeling it. NO MORE ILLEGAL PRESIDENTS! PERIOD.
