RE: Is Rubio an NBC?
It really depends on what your definition it. As it stands now, not everyone even agrees on what the criteria is.
Note the debates going on here at FR on this issue alone.
Most people I know understand it to mean -— BORN IN THE USA AND TERRITORIES OF PARENTS WHO WERE LEGAL RESIDENTS.
But then I also know some who disagree with the above definition and insist that BOTH PARENTS MUST BE US CITIZENS.
And so the debate continues...
To solve this problem, we really need a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT CLARIFYING THE TERM “NATURAL BORN” today.
Yes.

NO

NO
No. And Sen. Rubio himself knows it too.
“Is Rubio an NBC?”
Probably not but no matter if you agree or disagree it will be a poor idea to put him on the ticket. If he goes on the ticket as VP the lawsuits and controversy will start immediately and that is the last thing the GOP needs this year. Just put Alan West on the ticket if Fla is worrisome.

Haven’t you heard, we don’t interpret natural born citizen to be anything other than someone not born by Caesarean Section...the meaning of the founders is so vague and ambiguous, and if we had to do the Constitution over again today, we would never write it like that...even our Justices of the supreme court would not write it like it is. They tell us that every time they say it says something other than what a sixth grader would say it says.
And a convention to change it is so passe, and we would argue too much, so we are going to ignore the Constitution from now on, and Congress’s oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution really is just an acknowledgement that they have the job, and it is really to defend the general idea of a Constitution as it would look if it were written today...need I go on?
so gee whiz, I don’t think anybody cares if Rubio is NBS.
When it says, “Congress shall make no law” it really doesn’t mean “no” law, it means you can make laws but only a little at a time. You can abridge free speech, as when Rush speaks out, or religion, to make Catholics pay for rubbers, or taking without compensation, as when they take land from an property owner for a developer to put up a mall, or bearing arms, except that you can’t bear arms in many places because they don’t want to...like Illinois.
What possible difference does it make if Rubio is NBC if we are looking to international authority for wars...and we borrow money from China to pay to lazy slugs who won’t work in this country, so that we can tax the crap out of the workers to spread the wealth...
Would a foreign born president wreck our laws any worse than the entire government is wrecking them now?
We can’t even force people to prove who they are to vote...and Rubio has to be NBC? IF the voters need not prove citizenship to vote, why should a candidate have to prove citizenship to run?
This whole election is a sham and no one is going to change the direction in which this country is headed, least of all Mitt Romney. The social fabric of our nation has been irreversibly rent, and we are never going back to the freedom that we once had. We can pretend that we still have a choice, but when you see no Congressmen or Senators complaining at all about the usurpation of their power, who will defend the Republic?
What exactly is his or any candidate’s vision for the future? Where are going? What will we look like in 40 years? Without a common vision, there is no common effort.
We can’t even demand that the candidates are NBC.
