Title: Is Marco Rubio a "Natural Born Citizen"?

There has been talk on other sites (hint: Goldi-Lox and LP) about the desirability of Marco Rubio running for president.

Since these sites are also by and large "birther" sites, I want to know if Rubio is considered a "natural born citizen" and if so, why.

If he was born in the US, and his parents had become US citizens and renounced allegiance to Cuba by the time of his birth, he's natural born. He needs to show his parents citizenship papers, and his long form birth certificate.

All that's needed to prove hObama ineligible is a long form birth certificate from ANYWHERE showing that his father is Barack Obama. We already know that he was a British subject, that never became a US citizen.

You need to evaluate this according to the "birther" theory of law.

In "real" law, being born on US soil is enough. "Birther" law is another thing entirely, and should be consistent with how it has been applied to Obama.

Dead wrong. Check out the 14th amendment.... subject to the jurisdiction thereof (US). Not British jurisdiction, or Kenyan.

I repeat, in "real" law being born on US soil is enough.

Unless you have real proof otherwise - a Supreme Court decision, for example - let's stick to the original question.

a Supreme Court decision

let's stick to the original question.

US vs Kim Wong Ark. SCOTUS deemed that he was a US citizen, but did NOT say that he was "a natural born US citizen". He was born is the US, but his parents were Chinese citizens. He never became president, or even a candidate.

Mitt Romney is probably ineligible since his father George was Mexican born. It's unknown if or when he became a US citizen. He was governor of Michigan.

Bill Richardson is ineligible since his mother was a Mexican citizen at the time of his birth.

You can't leave law out of this, so it's relevant to the original question.

Getting back to the original question, this is from the US Dept of State Website:

The Government of Cuba does not recognize the U.S. nationality of U.S. citizens who are Cuban-born or are the children of Cuban parents. These individuals will be treated solely as Cuban citizens and may be subject to a range of restrictions and obligations, including military service.

So, is Rubio legally allowed to run for president, again using birther law as the guide?

No, under Cuban law he's ineligible to be THEIR president, it seems. What has this to do with Rubio's eligibility to be US president?

I cite a US Supreme court decision, and you cite Cuban law. What's up with that? Are you under the jurisdiction of Fidel, Raul?

Sandra Day0 is retired from SCOTUS, so we need not consider Scottish law, or Cuban I dare say.

Because the birthers always cite Kenyan Law or British Law to try and make their case. I agree with you that only US law applies.

Interestingly, the FReepers are having this same discussion about Jindal.

You can read it here.
