If Chester Arthur's father wasn't naturalized even though he was born outside this country, what is your problem with Rubio's NBC status?
“If Chester Arthur’s father wasn’t naturalized even though he was born outside this country, what is your problem with Rubio’s NBC status?”
The controversy about Arthur was never about his father, it was about him. If a person is naturalized, his offspring will be natural born, for crying out loud. Rubio’s parents were not naturalized citizens when Rubio was born. Non-citizens of the United States cannot bequeath natural born status to their offspring. If the natural born clause was not considered operative, there would not have been a controversy with Arthur.
Even Obama has genuflected to the natural born clause by putting out a birth certificate to prove he is natural born citizen.
