Sen. Marco Rubio Wins CPAC Vice Presidential Straw Poll

Marco Rubio CPAC straw poll

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was the clear favorite among conservative activists to be Mitt Romney’s running mate in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) vice presidential straw poll Friday.

Rubio topped the list of potential contenders with 30 percent of the vote at the one-day Chicago event, more than double his nearest competitor.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie came in second with 14 percent, followed by while Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) with 9 percent and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) with 8 percent of the crowd. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal placed fifth.

Rubio’s straw poll win was nearly identical to the conference poll in February, when he was also the top choice among CPAC-goers in Washington, D.C.

The poll results have no bearing on who Romney will ultimately tap, but are a clear indication of what conservatives would like to see.

Rubio has repeatedly denied having any interest in accepting the No. 2 spot.

      This is what I found online;

      http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_citi.html

      Natural-born citizen
      Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday?
      The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: “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.” But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps. The Constitution authorizes the Congress to do create clarifying legislation in Section 5 of the 14th Amendment; the Constitution, in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, also allows the Congress to create law regarding naturalization, which includes citizenship.
      Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are “citizens of the United States at birth:”
      • 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.
      * There is an exception in the law — the person must be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.
      Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example.

      The decision in Minor v Happersett specifically staes that it is not seeking to establish a full and exclusive definition of natural born citizenship because it ahs nothing to do with the case at hand

      “Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”

      If you call yourself Beckbot, how come you are clinging to arguments that he fully understands to be nonsense?

      I’m not making any judgements. I just looked it up and posted it.

      The article starts out with…

      Natural-born citizen
      Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday?

      …and then goes on to answer that question. Do you think the article is wrong?

      “When a child inherits the citizenship of their father, they become a natural-born citizen of the nation their father belongs regardless of where they might be born. It should be pointed out that citizenship through descent of the father was recognized by U.S. Naturalization law whereby children became citizens themselves as soon as their father had become a naturalized citizen, or were born in another country to a citizen father.” – The Federalist Blog

      Now, consider Marco Rubio. His parents were resident aliens when he was born in 1971 (At birth, Marco Rubio would be considered to have dual citizenship) , seeking and soon to receive their status as naturalized U.S. citizens (Once this happened, Marco Rubio then became a citizen). Under the Fourteenth Amendment, “all persons born…in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the states wherein they reside.“ This ”subject to the jurisdiction thereof” clause shows why Rubio is — and, very likely, why children of illegal aliens are not — a “natural born citizen of the United States.”

      I do not think Marco is the best choice for VP myself, but I am not going to go down the road of a birther with him when the law is clear.

      I still say Ron Paul 2012!

      I do want to add that according to this, Obama could be considered to have dual citizenship, as his father never became a naturalized citizen.

      “In regards to questions about the citizenship of the mother: Mothers citizenship rarely ever influenced the citizenship of their children except in certain situations such as the father dying before the child was born or when the identity of the father was unknown.”

      Phrog, You are an angry person, I can tell. When we say 100% Constitution, we mean that the progressives have interpreted the Constitution to have negative liberties, and so they try to subvert it. The negative liberties is a true statement for the federal government as it limits the feds power. Without those limitations, we are at the beck and call of the powers within the government. Ron Paul is just one man, and he is the catalyst for a movement toward the restoration of the Constitution. He would be the best choice for our country at this point if people could get around the BS that has been spewed about him. He is not our God, nor is he our Christ, he is just a person who had the ability to open the eyes of a large number of concerned Americans. We will not give up the fight to gain back our liberties. We will slowly take over the GOP and make it the GrandOldParty again and do our best to rid it of the progressive entanglements that are choking it to death.

      second, yeah, I get a little angry when I see people spewing a bunch of mindless gibberish that they don’t really understand. I get enough of that from the left and it frustrates me to see it coming from the Ron Paul people.

      Third, if you look back at the comments the “100% Constitution” comments are all about how, in spite of the fact that over 200 years of law to the contrary, they interpret the law a different way and that MUST be the Constitutional way. Why? Because they said so. No facts, no law, no nothing.

      I disagree with birthright citzenship. But it is the law. And because of a law I disagree with, Marco Rubio is 100% eligible to be president.

      It makes no difference where his parents were born! The only requirements to be President of the United States are: Natural Born (U.S. Citizen), 35 years of age and resided in the United States for at least 14 years.

      I believe Rubio meets all three.

But, you have to remember that according to the original Articles in the Constitution, there is doubt on this and amendments to the Constitution can be repealed if there are enough votes in Congress and ratification by the states in accordance to the Constitution.

      Being “born in the US” doesn’t even make one a US Citizen per the meaning of the 14th Amendment ( http://www.14thamendment.us/ ) via those who wrote it. So if being born in the US doesn’t make a US Citizen, how does that even make a “natural born citizen”. Because of the requirement under something called “natural law” that the parent’s citizenship passes to the child.

      @Wat Tyler— Since ‘natural born’ has never been sufficiently defined there are only 2 possibilities:

      1. One born in the United States
      2. One born in the United States to two U.S. citizens

      Until this is clarified, there will be NO resolution. So to this point, Rubio is eligible…certainly far more eligible than OWEbama.

      In my opinion, Obummer fails on both counts.

      Here is a passage from an article that says Rubio is for amnesty. I have not researched everything yet, but thought it was interesting since Romney has flip flopped on his position on illegal immigrants.
      “US Senator Marco Rubio previously served as the Speaker of the House of Florida where he protected illegal alien workers, students, taxpayer resource thieves, and killers of Americans by blocking over 30 of our bills designed to protect Americans from illegal immigrants.
      Marco Rubio did not work against these bills or vote against them, instead he used his power in true dictatorial fashion to stop the bills from ever being debated or voted on in the Florida legislature. He did this despite the massive amount of calls, emails, and faxes rolling in from citizens supporting the bills.
      No wonder the illegal immigration invasion supporting globalists love Marco Rubio so much! He is willing to use raw power to overcome the American majority and is willing to side with their special interest groups against the 80% of Americans who want illegal immigration stopped!” ?

      To WakingSheep: Not sure I understand the WWIII reference, but 10 years ago I would have thought someone talking and speaking the way I now do, a complete freakin nut job. Fortunately I’ve done my back up research on things uncovered by Glenn Beck and others, and understand the truth! Most, if not all of the things GB reports are fact. Too bad many blow him off. Please do your own research and you’ll see GB is almost 99.9% correct…

      I honestly wasn’t attacking your comment. I can be sarcastic quite a bit.
      I was referencing Rubio talking about us needing to intervene in Iran with their nukes.
      China and Russia have both stated they will not tolerate us going into Iran. That’s where WW3 will start. Either there or Syria. Whichever the progressives want to go first.

    I (and several million other “birthers”) will not vote for Marco Rubio. His parents were NOT citizens before his birth, ergo, Marco is not a NBC.

      I stand with you. There is such an air of manipulation in having this guy nominated as VP. For the Republicans, it is the ethnic/immigrant angle. For the Democrats, it is the “natural-born” angle. Should Rubio get the nod I foresee two possibilities: 1) The Democrats protest as he does not have nbc status, and to squelch any of Obama’s nbc issues, his new ‘real’ birth certificate will be produced showing his biological father was a citizen, thus his original vetting as a nbc, and Republicans who don‘t protest Rubio’s nomination are villified as hypocrites; or 2) No protest is made by anyone and the Constitutional requirement of nbc would now be “legally defined” , not as our Founding Fathers meant, but as those who do not believe in our Constitution, or those who do not KNOW the proper manner in which our Constitution is to be “changed” — into allowing a child of illegal aliens born in this country to be eligible for the presidency.

      including me with barry soetoro is stupid. you’ve obviously not comprehended that obama is ineligible to be potus (which means no further argument is necessary) or you do know that he is ineligible and have compromised your values and would do it again for Marco Rubio.

      Birthers are people who think that President Obama was born in another country. There’s no word for people so crazy that they think they know more about the law than judges and Congressmen because they read some pseudo-scholarly article by some guy on the internet full of out of context quotes from irrelevant court cases and foreign law books from the 18th century.

      You left out 3) No protest is made by anyone because the Constitutional requirement of a natural born citizen is already legally defined in accordance with the existing laws at the time the Constitution was written as including all persons born in this country regardless of parentage.

      @ chet

      actually it’s rather straight forward and simple. no need for a lengthy legal discourse on what a Natural Born Citizen is…….

      A Person born on United States sovereign soil of U.S. citizen parentS.

      this is affirmed in USSC Minor v. Happersatt

      and partially in SR511 (John McCain’s parentS were both U.S. citizens).

      The isuue of John McCain’s parentage matters because he was not born in the United States. That has nothing to do with the status of people who were. Mr. Obama was a cosponsor of that Senate resolution. If anybody in the Senate had any idea that Mr. Obam’s eligibility would be questioned, they would have proposed a similar resolution clarifying the issue, but nobody bothered because they are all properly educated and understand the law.

      As I said above, the decision in Minor v Happersett specifically states that it was not seeking to establish a full and exclusive definition of natural born citizenship because it had nothing to do with the case at hand

      “Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”

      @ chet

      um, you didn’t mention that SR511 says

      “Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it”

      the above text is taken directly from the resolution. i’ve isolated the operative term “citizens” which means (if you didn’t know) plural……that means FATHER and MOTHER.

      you left that part out because it doesn’t fit with your agenda. you are being deceptive.

      you are lying.

      barry’s FATHER (as we’ve been lead to believe) is KENYAN. if you can’t figure it out, that means that the “citizens” part (again FATHER and MOTHER) necessary for Natural Born Citizenship is lacking. barry’s mother alone cannot give him Natural Born Citizenship but rather just citizenship. which he actually forfeited when he became an indonesian citizen (remember that passport he used to get into pakistan?)

      I really didn’t expound on NBC because I thought that you would be convinced.

      I will promise you CHET that when the evidence is presented and it is determined that barry is ineligible to be potus…….I will be mericiless in my taunting of you and any other “birther” detractors.

      count on it. :)

      That McCain’s parents are both citizens is a simple statement of fact, it doesn’t mean that it was necessary that they both be citizens, and even if it was this would have nothing to do with the status of people born here.

    Of course he is capable. Lets look at what works for the mass, instant citizen opinion. You know the recalcitrants. The Obama voters of 2008 + the die hard demos + the sceptics + the activists who think they have the climat holy grail strenght and proof all of us conservative moralistic capitalists are wrong.
    1. What works is the obvious: not too complicated to pass along in conversation and in sharing human experiences (used to be outside the church or at the local pub, now …who knows?)

    2. A racial arguement could be shut up by the obvious potential Allen West or CONDI? and why not?

    3. A sexist arguement the same with Latina or Alaskan or Bachman or Hillary’s Clonesque version…
    but I doubt it. America declined on the FEMALE in power option a long time ago!!!! TOOOO BAD!
    (it would have SHUT UP once and for all the Hidjabby versions of women de-clitorized and FREE).

    4. The famous immigration agenda: HA HA Handy for so many for so many years!!!!! Easy to fix in a minunte…NO?

    5. We have thousands of heroes coming back from hostile territories into our own hostile territory….
    shame on us.

    6. Create, Commit, Stand up… OH YEAH! finally it took Glen Beck to organize…no O’Reilly. Why?

    7. The opposition has its thugs. So does GOD.

    8. DO NOT BE AFRAID
    9. IF MARCO RUBION IS NOT BACKING DOWN WHY SHOULD WE BE AFRAID?

    As a Floridian I am very proud of and for Senator Mark Rubio. He is a great man and I think would make a better VP than what we have. I could go on with his qualifications all day, instead I will just give two of his qualifications which VP Biden does not possess: 1) he can remain awake for longer than 30 seconds at a time and 2) he can put three words together at one time without sounding ignorant.
