that's why he's so confident about not being asked, paul ryan maybe.
Joseph Farah | World Net Daily | Marco Rubio | Natural-Born Citizen | The Daily Caller
if you don't believe me, call his office and ask him if he thinks he eligible.
Marco Rubio was born in Miami, therefore he is a natural born citizen. His parents status don't have dick to do with anything.
End of story, now please go get a life.
You need to look up what makes a natural born citizen. It's a common error.
This might help you understand.

Unfortunately, I don't think the law is determined by what one guy once said on the floor of the House. How about we go look at the actual, codified laws on the subject, hmm?
US Constitution, Amendment 14 (doesn't matter what you think of it; it's still part of the Constitution):
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Furthermore, it is given to Congress to create laws regarding naturalization and citizenship, as per Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, and Congress has provided Title 8, Section 1401, to cover this question:
Anyone born inside the United States *
Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
*The exception, of course, is the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States", which thus exempts the children of foreign diplomats.
Since Mr. Rubio was, apparently, born in the United States, he is - pursuant to our Constitution and duly-passed-by-Congress laws - a US citizen, whatever his parents' citizenship status is, or was at the time.
