In 2016, Marco Rubio was a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. His ballot status in the Arkansas Republican presidential primary was challenged by another candidate, David Librace, on the grounds that Rubio’s parents were never citizens of the United States, and therefore Rubio was not a “natural born citizen.” The case was Librace v Martin, e.d., 4:16cv-57.
The decision said that Librace did not have standing, and did not discuss the bigger issues in the case.
Rubio’s attorney, Jason Torchinsky, filed a brief in the case that argues that all persons born in the U.S., except for the children of foreign diplomats and the children of an invading army, are automatically citizens. This stance contradicts President Trump’s position on the matter. Currently Marco Rubio is the Secretary of State.
Is Rubio getting any USA pension $$$ for his time as av USA Senator ???

*MORAL CHARACTER* = BE A *GOOD* SLAVE UNDER TYRANT TRUMP
Hopefully he got smarter since then, or at least learned why his argument back then was completely wrong.
Thank God that Liberator Trump is vetting the immigrants at long last!
Little Marco has done a fine job serving Trump and us. He was wrong in 2016.
He better keep toeing the line before we deport him to some shithole country like South Sudan or Eswatini.
The corpse of Liberace ran for President in 2016? I totally missed that!
Why didn’t Liberace have standing? Is it because he died in 1987?
Why are you GAY?
Little Marco was wrong in 2016. I’m glad he’s less retarded now. Hopefully he will keep getting smarter and eventually go to Cuba where he belongs, or at least Guantanamo Bay.
Whatever his brief said, it ignored or obfuscated the real facts. See

Birthright citizenship for illegals could easily mean China or India could easily conquer the US by sending say 50 million pregnant illegals in per year. It’s a drop in the bucket to their population. A full scale military blitzkrieg might be quicker, but would be defeated. Chinese military strategy takes a more long term view.
What little Marco ignored then and what Richard Winger ignores now

Make America American Again. I don’t care what part of Cuba little Marco goes to, Gitmo or the commie part. Hasta la Vista, little Marco.
Rubio is wrong.
Yeah, that’s what most everyone else is saying, other than that he may have changed his mind since then and seen the light. Do you have any links or reasons you want to add that others have not already mentioned? Or, do you even read preceding comments before adding yours?
Members of olde American Indian tribes were NOT USA Citizens — even with them being born in USA – ie *internal* foreign regimes.
It took 1924 and 1940 USA laws for them [few survivors of the many Indian Wars / genocides 1607-1890] to become naturalized USA Citizens.
Andy is right.
Marco Rubio was correct to argue that position, until 30 days after Trump issued the executive order. Now that Trump has issued the executive order, he should be arguing in favor of the executive order (for those born after it takes effect).
The courts are still deciding if Trump’s order is actually legal.
No, he was wrong then and the position he argued remains wrong just as it always was. Plenty of people explained why above with links to much more extensive proof. So far I’m not seeing any substantive counterarguments to any of their points here. Anyone reading think they have some? Even if you have to play devil’s advocate..
