Yes you heard that right. At the time Marco Rubio was born in the United States neither of his parents were United States Citizens. Rubio was born in Miami, Florida on May 28, 1971, the second son and third child of Mario Rubio and Oria Garcia. His parents were Cubans who had immigrated to the United States in 1956 and were naturalized as U.S. citizens in 1975!. That makes little Marco an anchor baby. Don’t expect him to think like the average American. He has now both said and shown us he doesn’t respect the office of the senate, and is not to be trusted to the office of President! The question that remains is: DOES MARCO RUBIO MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT? The descriptive clause in the Constitution says this: “Only native-born U.S. citizens (or those born abroad, but only to parents at least one of whom was a U.S. citizen at the time) may serve president of the United States.” (see link below) When Marco Rubio announced he was running, for president, Orly Taitz, and Mario Apuzzo (who both filed multiple lawsuits challenging Obama’s eligibility) asserted that Mario Rubio was not eligible to run because he was born to parents who were not U.S. citizens at the time of his respective birth. They both publically asserted that Marco Rubio is not eligible. To me it appears that the answer is NO, Rubio is not qualified. Why is the news silent on this one? Oh and by the way, Rubio’s sob story for the campaign that his parents were Cuban refugees and fled to the US to escape the abusive power of Castro? He forgot to tell you that his family arrived in the US in 1956 and Castro did not rise to power until 1959. Another lie.

“Only native-born U.S. citizens (or those born abroad, but only to parents at least one of whom was a U.S. citizen at the time) may serve president of the United States.” (see link below) Unknown what the author is quoting, but it's NOT the US Constitution! "native-born" is not in there. 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; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
A lot of people miss this. It spells out that the Founders anticipated that a natural-born American citizens might live up to age 21 overseas and still be eligible to run as president. Rubio is considered natural-born since that is how we have defined the 14th Amendment. We have legislatively altered the definition slightly several times because the Constitution simply says natural-born but does not exhaustively define the term. I always like how the Founders, themselves British subjects, grandfathered themselves into eligibility with this modest phrase.
Who is we? Nancy Pelosi certified that Barry Obama is qualified and a natural born citizen. The courts have never ruled on "natural born Citizen". The 14th doesn't specifically address natural born. Ted Cruz was born in Canada, a Dual Citizen at birth. How can this be "natural born", most people are born with only one citizenship. Not so natural to the vast majority of people. Most people don't have two foreign citizen parents like Marco Rubio, either. Rubio and Cruz's parents eventually became citizens, and Teddy dropped his Canadian citizenship a couple of years ago, but that doesn't make either of them natural born.
The Congressional Research Service reaffirmed the early 2009 opinion in 2011 . https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42097.pdf Cittizenship at Birth: Case Law and Interpretations: The overwhelming evidence of historical intent, general understandings, and common law principles underlying American jurisprudence thus indicate that the most reasonable interpretation of “natural born” citizens would include those who are considered U.S. citizens “at birth” or “by birth,” either by the operation of the strict “common law” of jus soli derived from English common law (physically born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, without reference to parentage or lineage), or under existing federal statutory law incorporating longstanding concepts of jus sanguinis, the law of descent, including those born abroad of U.S. citizen-parents. This general historical understanding and interpretation is supported, as well, by specific federal case law in the United States, and in official legal opinions of U.S. officers. Although the Supreme Court has not needed to rule specifically on the presidential eligibility clause, as discussed in more detail below, numerous federal cases, as well as state cases, for more than a century have used the term “natural born citizen” to describe a person born in this country and under its jurisdiction, even to parents who were aliens in the U.S.114 Additionally, several Supreme Court cases, as well as numerous constitutional scholars, have used the term “native born” citizen to indicate all of those children physically born in the country (and subject to its jurisdiction), without reference to parentage or lineage, and employed such term in reference to those citizens eligible to be President under the “natural born” citizenship clause, as opposed to “naturalized” citizens, who are not.115 In no currently controlling legal opinion in American jurisprudence has the citizenship or nationality of one’s parents or forebears been considered a determining factor in the eligibility of a native born U.S. citizen to be President, and no holding in any case in federal court has ever established a “two citizen-parent” requirement, or other requirement of lineage or bloodline, for a native born U.S. citizen to be eligible for the Presidency.
There is ONE and only one circumstance where natural born Citizen is important, the office of US president. All other cases and rulings are irrelevant since they don't address the issue. The courts refuse to rule on the presidential eligibility question. Cuban student Rafael Cruz (center) in a pro-Castro parade at the University of Texas Austin in 1959. In 2005 he finally renounced his allegiance to Fidel and became a US citizen.
It is equally applicable to the Vice President. Cruz is a natural born U.S. citizen pursuant to Federal law in effect at the time of his birth.
He's not a natural born anything. He was born in Canada, but neither parent is Canadian. He's a hybrid, Cuban, Canadian, American. There can't be too many of those. He might be popular at the UN as an unidentified citizen of the world.
Ted Cruz is a natural born U.S. citizen, pursuant to Federal law in effect at the time of his birth. Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, on Dec. 22, 1970. His mother was a United States citizen significantly before and when he was born. The law in effect at the time of birth of Ted Cruz was the Immigation and Nationality Act of 1952 (first amended 1978). Amendment history may be viewed at 8 U.S.C. 1401. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-66/content-detail.html http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-66/pdf/STATUTE-66.pdf P.L. 414, June 25, 1952 66 Stat 163 (to 282), Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act.

(a) The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth: [...] (7) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than ten years, at least five of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States by such citizen parent may be included in computing the physical presence requirements of this paragraph. - - - - - - - - - - http://harvardlawreview.org/2015/03/on-the-meaning-of-natural-born-citizen Harvard Law Review Forum On the Meaning of “Natural Born Citizen” Commentary by Neal Katyal & Paul Clement Mar 11, 2015 128 Harv. L. Rev. F. 161 All the sources routinely used to interpret the Constitution confirm that the phrase “natural born Citizen” has a specific meaning: namely, someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth with no need to go through a naturalization proceeding at some later time. And Congress has made equally clear from the time of the framing of the Constitution to the current day that, subject to certain residency requirements on the parents, someone born to a U.S. citizen parent generally becomes a U.S. citizen without regard to whether the birth takes place in Canada, the Canal Zone, or the continental United States. [2] - - - - - 1. U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 5. 2. See, e.g., 8 U.S.C. § 1401(g) (2012); Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, Pub. L. No. 82-414, § 303, 66 Stat. 163, 236–37; Act of May 24, 1934, Pub. L. No. 73-250, 48 Stat. 797. [...] While the field of candidates for the next presidential election is still taking shape, at least one potential candidate, Senator Ted Cruz, was born in a Canadian hospital to a U.S. citizen mother. [15] Despite the happenstance of a birth across the border, there is no question that Senator Cruz has been a citizen from birth and is thus a “natural born Citizen” within the meaning of the Constitution. Indeed, because his father had also been resident in the United States, Senator Cruz would have been a “natural born Citizen” even under the Naturalization Act of 1790. - - - - - 15.

Yeah, it almost makes me wonder why all the court decisions and law books are so wrong.

no holding in any case in federal court has ever established a “two citizen-parent” requirement, or other requirement of lineage or bloodline, for a native born U.S. citizen to be eligible for the Presidency.
Senator Ted Cruz finally renounced his allegiance to the Queen and dropped his Canadian citizenship in 2013, in preparation for his presidential run.

TITLE III-NATIONALITY AND NATURALIZATION
The Constitution directly addresses the minimum qualifications necessary to serve as President. In addition to requiring thirty-five years of age and fourteen years of residency, the Constitution limits the presidency to “a natural born Citizen.” [1]
