Rubio does qualify. He was born Miami to legal resident parents and was a citizen at birth. Nothing could stop Cruz from running either, he was born a citizen just like Rubio, just like Jindal, all 3 of them, period. That is all natural born means, there is no extra special definition, no there’s not, I don’t care what you heard on some blog or from some radio host.

“But after Obama, Ah-nold could run.”

No. That’s as silly as Trump’s comments. Enough of this garbage, really, it’s so 2009. Trump is an a-hole for dredging this up.

I presume now since most people here have Cruz as their first choice that the anti-Cruz birthers will be zotted if they start spewing their BS again, I’m glad.

That rules out Cruz, fortunately we still have Jeb.

Heh. I've been fighting this battle here for years. Glad at least one FReeper agrees with me.

How about what Congressman Bingham said on the issue? Does that matter?

Actually, the U. S. Constitution itself says you are wrong. Here is the actual quote from the Constitution:

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President

If natural born citizen is equal to citizen, then the phrase "or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution" would have been unnecessary. The Founders, who were wiser than you, intentionally added it for clarification, to make it clear that the two terms are not the same.
