Rubio's and Cruz's cases are actually totally different. Rubio was born in the US with apparently neither parent naturalized. Cruz was born outside the US with only one parent a US citizen.

If both situations are okay, then a person could be born outside the USA with no parents that are US citizens and that would be okay.

How crazy is that? We could end up with a president for a multiple of countries and the end of sovereignty.

Rubio is a “Dreamer”....born here of two foreign born parents...this explains his support for Dreamer legislation and amnesty! My God, at least Cruz had one US citizen parent!

Why are we just hearing about this now? Hmmmm!

No they couldn’t. Your straw man arguement is incorrect.

“If both situations are okay, then a person could be born outside the USA with no parents that are US citizens and that would be okay.”

I have to disagree with you there. Both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz should be eligible to be president. Under your logic, children of diplomats, military families, missionaries and others would become second class citizens, even though their parents are American citizens.

I agree that US-born children of illegal immigrants shouldn’t be citizens but I don’t think Rubio’s parents were illegals. As for Cruz, his mother was a native-born American so he should be covered. Allowing them to run for president by no means allows a foreigner to become president. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger should not be allowed to run.

We will end up will a president like that if those who are pushing this mess have their way. It is exactly what they have been trying to accomplish for years. Water down US presidential standards so much that anyone born anywhere in the world can become the US president. And along with that, the entire world will have the ability to elect this person.

After all, it’s not fair that US citizens alone get to choose the most powerful leader in the world./s
