My problem with Rubio as a pick for VP.

Marco Rubio is not a constitutional natural born US citizen elgibile for the Presidency.

Eligibility

John Adams, the first Vice President of the United States

The Twelfth Amendment states that “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”[16] Thus, to serve as Vice President, an individual must:

If Rubio is selected as the VP nominee the RNC along with Romney are attempting to override the Constitution and are also attempting to legitimize Obama as a constitutionally valid President. Rubio must not be chosen as Romney’s VP running mate. Please help get this out.

      But since the meaning of Natural Born Citizen refers to the place of birth, Rubio IS eligible, and so are other US-born children of foreign parents. What makes you think that the men who wrote “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal” really believed that the US-born children of foreigners were not as good as the US-born children of US citizens? For sure, if they really, truly did, then they would have told us. But they didn’t, and the meaning of Natural Born in the common law referred to the PLACE OF BIRTH.

        I like Rubio, also Jindal, but the way I read it and it is somewhat ambiguous, is that a natural born citizen must be born of parents (father) that has no allegiance to other than the United States and parents that are non United States citizens fall into this category. Rubio’s father was not a citizen at the time of his birth which would qualify Marco as a citizen but not a natural born citizen. I am not a constitutional scholar or lawyer. This is my opinion on how I understand it.

          And, for those who think that this is only recent conclusions and hence revisionist, there is this from 1829:

          “Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity.”—William Rawle, A VIEW OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 2d ed. (1829)

          Did you read this? (It’s right on this page):

          “Under the longstanding English common-law principle of jus soli, persons born within the territory of the sovereign (other than children of enemy aliens or foreign diplomats) are citizens from birth. Thus, those persons born within the United States are “natural born citizens” and eligible to be President. Much less certain, however, is whether children born abroad of United States citizens are “natural born citizens” eligible to serve as President …”—- Edwin Meese, et al, THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION (2005) [Edwin Meese was Ronald Reagan’s attorney general, and the Heritage Foundation is a well-known Conservative organization.]

          “What is a natural born citizen? Clearly, someone born within the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen.” (Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on OCTOBER 5, 2004)–Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT).

          Did you know that Vattel’s word “indignes” was not even translated into “Natural Born Citizen” until ten years after the Constitution was written? Did you know that Minor vs Happersett is considered “dicta”–and the Wong Kim Ark ruling, which held that the meaning of NBC comes from the common law and refers to the PLACE of birth, was AFTER the Minor vs Happersett decision in any case. So if Minor vs Happersett had been ruling, the Wong Kim Ark case would have overturned it.

          Did you know that five state courts and one federal court have ruled that the meaning of NBC was defined by the Wong Kim Ark case, not by Minor vs Happersett? Oh, that should be six counting Hollister vs McCain.
