Not going into the birther thing...
So it's Romney/Rubio on election night....Obama/Biden...Hillary
You going to not vote for them ...because Rubio parents were born in another country yet he is a citizen born in this country and a current US Senator ?
Please don't clog up the thread with links upon links why birthers are right....in the end it's either them or Obama as POTUS if mittens picks him and he accepts
I won’t go into the facts that Rubio is NOT a NBC based on his parents citizenship at the time of his birth, But I WILL NOT vote for a ticket that has someone on it that is not eligible under the Constitution. Just because the Dems do it is not excuse for the Repubs to also violate the Constitution.
So, if Rubio is on the ticket, I vote for a third party or do not vote for the Presidential ticket.
Don't worry - - Obama is not going to run either.
Mark this post.
While I like Rubio a lot, he is NOT natural born.
Not going into the birther thing...
It’s just a silly little requirement the Constitution places on all candidates, even nobody seems to care today. I thought it might be a great idea that since the (R) people were supposed to really care about the rules, that maybe just maybe they would not be so foolish as to nominate a person who is CLEARLY UNABLE TO HOLD THE OFFICE, as much as I would like to see him do it.
According to his bio, Rubio was born in the US, but at the time, his parents were not citizens. QED.
That's right. I'll write in Col. Lakin if Rubio is on the ticket, and never vote republican again. EVER!
Yes
It's not (and never has been) about where the parents were born. It's about the citizenship status of the parents at the time of the child's birth.
In today's language, Rubio would be an "anchor baby," born in the USA of non-citizen parents. His parents got their USA citizenship years after he was born.
