Apparently, with people juggling themselves around the globe, doing what people do, this whole concept of "native born" has become a moot point.
Actually, that probably makes sense, since at the time of the writing of the Constitution, it took a long time, a lot of money, a lot of determination and risking one's life on the seas to journey from continent-to continent.
Things have changed.

Fred lost me when he started pushing de facto elimination of the Electoral College. I suppose I should click on the site to see his yes/no answer since it is not in the excerpt, but I cannot seem to do it.

They contend that at least one of his parents were required at the time of his birth to have been a citizen for him to fulfill the constitutional requirement of eligibility, even though he was born on American soil. At least one parent required to be a citizen? Unless it's both, you get into the dual citizenship problem. As I recall, the one citizen parent interpretation was developed out of thin air several years ago to try to legitimize Obama.

I do like Rubio, very much. That was not the question. And I could not agree more re: the radical birther nonsense.

Rubio has been co-opted now by the rhinos and sadly cannot be trusted to be a solid conservative and constitutionalist anymore , regardless of whether he is eliliginle or not IMHO.

I can’t say that I agree with Fred on this, but one thing os for sure, we will never know how the Supreme Court will rule on the issue. That’s because they are too weak-kneed to ever take the issue up.
To: Perdogg
I say nominate Rubio, and then send both Rubio’s case and Obama’s case up to the Supreme Court for decision.
To: Perdogg
A lot of citizens do think Rubio is not eligible.
No way around chasing the rabbits; it is what it is. Since the Jebster wants him; I know that Rubio has kissed the Bush ring (and has done so long ago). The insiders want the conservatives to saddle up, go along when it makes them look good.

In fact, I like Rubio so much I hope against hope that he does not run with Romney. I think it would hurt him in 2016. I cannot imagine how anyone would run with Romney. Most of all, Rubio. He does not need Romney.

"Is Rubio Eligible?"
No, on several fronts. Mitt is a rinoceros. he does not need a Cuban rinoceros standing next to him.
