He was born in Miami. How is that not natural born?

His parents were born in Cuba.

Just as Obama’s father was born in Africa.

His parents were not
American citizens when he was born.

Therefore he is not natural born, which requires two American parents.

He is a citizen, thus eligible to be a Senator.

Obama is not natural born either, but that is because no one wants to defend the Constitution.

‘He was born in Miami. How is that not natural born?’

Allow me to answer -
Natural born citizen is citizenship by nature, i.e. by place of birth AND by parentage - born on US soil to 2 USA citizen parentS.
A natural born citizen has undivided loyalty to USA.

Marco Rubio was born to a father who was not a USA citizen at time of Rubio’s birth. His father was a Cuban citizen at time of Marco’s birth, therefore Marco has dual citizenship - Cuban and USA (if he indeed is a USA citizen due only to his birth in USA)
