As Marco Rubio dismisses VP chatter, he looks to be preparing for job

Tampa Bay Times  h/t Free Republic

quote:

"He is the best orator of American politics today, a good family man. He is not only a consistent conservative, but he has managed to find a way to communicate a conservative message full of hope and optimism," Jeb Bush told a Pittsburgh reporter last week, calling Rubio the best pick for vice president.


Also, from Wikipedia on Marco Rubio:
Rubio was born in Miami, Florida,[5] the second son and third child of Mario Rubio (1927–2010)[6] and Oria Garcia (born 1931). His parents were Cubans who had emigrated to the United States in 1956 and were later naturalized as U.S. citizens in 1975
Comment:

The complaint against Rubio is even stronger than Obama in terms of natural born citizen.  To recap, that definition by some entails that both parents should be at least naturalized citizens at birth, and the birth should be in the US.  Rubio passes the latter test, but not the former.

Wouldn't we be in uncharted waters if this happens?
