Marco Rubio, former Senator from Florida and Trump's Current Secretary of State, is a GREAT STATESMAN and Patriot. U.S. History will record him as one of America's greatest leaders. BUT, Rubio is just not qualified to be President under the "NATURAL BORN CITIZEN" requirement.
This means, at the time of one's birth BOTH parents must have been U.S. Citizens. Rubio was born in Miami when both his parents were still citizens of Cuba. This, unfortunately, disqualifies him for the office of President.
I believe Rubio is a bright and shining star amongst the filth and swamp of Washington. Rubio would make a great and far superior President. It's just that he can't.
THE FOUNDING FATHERS put this higher qualification for President into the U.S. Constitution for a reason: to prevent possible foreign influence and foreign family influence and manipulation upon the highest office in the land. While many who lack motivation and research skills to learn the truth say there is no 'clear definition' - the federal courts in decisions, drawing from the history of our government, have many times made its meaning clear. It's not as difficult to learn the truth - I found it and confirmed it in two afternoons of research while looking through federal court cases online. Search topics like: "Natural Born Citizen" and other similar cases involving immigration and naturalization.
EXCERPT: U.S. Constitution - Article 2, Section 1
Qualifications for President
"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."
EXCERPT: U.S. Constitution - Article 1, Section 2
Qualifications for House of Representatives
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
EXCERPT: U.S. Constitution - Article 1, Section 3
Qualifications for Senators
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES... are we a nation of law and order or majority/mob rule.
True Patriots follow the law and the Constitution. Not doing so places the Republic and the American Experiment in Liberty in jeopardy.
Want Trump to run for a 3rd term? ... fine, but the Constitution must be amended to do it - legally and properly. Same with Rubio.
The 'NATURAL BORN CITIZEN' requirement also disqualifies Barack Obama (father-citizen of Kenya at his birth) and also Ted Cruz (father-citizen of Canada at his birth). Ted Cruz was also born in Canada and until 2014 held dual U.S. Canadian citizenship.
IF WE WANT TO DRAIN THE SWAMP and GET BETTER GOVERNMENT...
WE have to be better... and as Ronald Reagan said... all the patriotic feelings are good, BUT it needs to be matched by "Informed Patriotism" - meaning WE, THE PEOPLE have to know what is right ourselves AND demand it of those in office AND hold them accountable to the Constitution (our national social contract). To bypass or ignore it FOR ANY REASON makes us that "DOMESTIC ENEMY" that we in public office and the military swore an oath to Protect and Defend the U.S. Constitution from.
THE U.S. Government HAS WALKED AWAY FROM THE CONSTITUTION and THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES of America...
