Birthers ask: Is Marco Rubio eligible to be president?

The Birthers, who still question President Barack Obama’s U.S. citizenship, are focusing on Sen. Marco Rubio, saying he’s not a "natural born citizen."

"Unable to prevent Barack Obama from becoming president, rigid followers of the Constitution have turned their attention to another young, charismatic politician many think could one day occupy the White House.

The birthers are calling for U.S. Sen Marco Rubio, the budding Republican star from Florida.

"It’s nothing to do with him personally. But you can’t change the rules because you like a certain person. Then you have no rules," said New Jersey lawyer Mario Apuzzo.

Forget about alleged Photoshopped birth certificates; the activists are not challenging whether Rubio was born in Miami. Rather, they say Rubio is ineligible under Article 2 of the Constitution which says “no person except a natural born citizen ... shall be eligible to the Office of President.”

They're subscribing to the SECOND Birther theory: that to become a NBC, you need to be born in the United States of TWO US Citizens, never mind what the 14th Amendment says.

That he's even considered presidential material in some quarters is absolutely hilarious.
