Source: [None] URL Source: http://libertysflame.org Published: Nov 12, 2010 Author: Me Post Date: 2010-11-12 19:40:56 by Skip Intro Keywords: None Views: 72334 Comments: 74 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.

AFAIK he was a REAL immigrant, and NOT an illegal alien. Hondo68  posted on  2010-11-13   18:46:41 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #36. To: hondo68 (#35) None of the above.

US citizen yes, natural born maybe not. Just being born in the US doesn't make one a natural born citizen. We need the naturalization dates of the parents to know that.

To: jwpegler, hondo68 (#33) Natural born means a person was born inside the United States, except those not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. government (such as children of ambassadors or other foreign diplomats). PERIOD. The other type of citizen is a naturalized citizen -- someone who wasn't born here, but became a citizen by choice. They cannot become President. Incorrect jwpegler. The 14th amendment (which today has been bastardized) was nowhere in sight when the Constitution was written by the Founders. Using modern day terminology as you have, I could claim someone born via c-section was not "natural born". You have to look at what the meaning of words were when the Constitution was written.

"Gay" today means something totally different than when the Constitution was penned. You don't look toward the original intent when there has been an amendment that affects that issue. The constitution isn't the bible, it's a changing document. Amendments are just as valid as any part of the whole. Natural born means the same thing it did in 1789. That you were born a citizen. The 14th amendment changed who was born a citizen. Rhino  posted on  2010-11-13   23:02:45 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #43.

To: Rhino (#42) The 14th amendment changed who was born a citizen. Correct. But it did not change who was a "natural born" citizen, it only changed who was a "citizen". I see nowhere in the 14th that "natuarl born" is mentioned, nor do I see a change in the defintion of "natual born citizen" therein. In the days of the Founders, "natural born citizen" and "citizen" were different, or they would not have included "natural born" in the requirements for President, they would have just said "citizen".

Natural born citizen means exactly what it appears to. It means you were born a citizen. A citizen is either a natural born citizen or is a naturalized citizen.

Yet it didn't ban dual citizenship. Your interpretation sounds unlikely. Also plenty of American's get dual citizenship and have children.

It's true that the US ignores dual citizenship, but that is far from it being illegal. There are likely hundreds of thousands of dual citizen Americans. In fact the US Supreme court has ruled that dual citizenship doesn't mean renunciation of the US citizenship. Schneider v. Rusk, 377 U.S. 163 (1964). And there isn't a renunciation requirement for naturalization. You guys realize that law isn't some shit you can just speculate about right?
