Marco Rubio, who has been nothing less than phenominal in his recent speeches, has become a name that has popped up often regarding possibly running for president, or winding up as a running mate. However, there is a problem with that. He's not eligible.
In order to be President, or Vice President, you must be a Natural Born Citizen, and Marco Rubio is not.
Yes, Mr. Rubio was born in the U.S., but at the time of his birth his parents were not citizens of the United States.
The definition of Natural Born Citizen is not about where one was born, but whether or not, due to the allegiances of the parents, there is divided loyalties.
