On Sean Hannity's radio program recently, when Rubio was asked if he would accept a VP spot on the Republic ticket, he dodged the question. Hannity quiped that he (Rubio) was qualified to be VP he (Rubio) again avoided repsonding postively to Hannity's comment. To many people listening (me included) he sounded like he knew he wasn't Constitutionally qualified for the office of Vice President. And I believe he was born when his parents were not yet American citizens.

I have nothing personal against Rubio but the Senator isn't a natural born citizen of the United States and therefore isn't qualified for the office President or Vice President.

Good catch.

I believe you are correct in that Rubio AND Jindal know the Constitution and do not want to go against it.

They are both good men. I was very impressed with Jindal during the BP oil crisis. He is a great leader - but not eligible.

You are 100% correct. He is not "Natural Born". His parents obtained citizenship after he was born in this country. Same situation with Bobby Jindal. I wish someone would explain this to Hannity!
