Talk:United States presidential election, 2016 (view source)
Revision as of 04:55, May 3, 2013
, 04:55, May 3, 2013explanation of Rubio's eligibility
==Rubio Citizenship/Eligibility==
He is clearly eligible under both the 14th amendment and the [http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42097.pdf 2011 finding] of the Congressional Research Service. Under the arguments frequently given by people claiming Rubio to be ineligible(namely, that his parents were not US citizens when he was born), this would also mean that the first 7 Presidents of the United States were also ineligible as either they or their parents were British subjects at the time of their birth. Martin Van Buren being the first President to actually be born a US citizen by the standards laid out by these detractors. [[User:Fnarrow|Fnarrow]] 00:55, 3 May 2013 (EDT)
