SandBox Comments: Intellectual Conservative "The Presidential Qualification Issue"

It started years ago, with Arnold running for office out in California.

How very interesting to watch the synchronization of the questions on immigration qualifications to hold public office (and) the growth of the humane immigration reform movement.

Is Marco Rubio legally qualified to hold the Office of the Vice-Presidency should he be asked to run?

Excellent post from Bruce Walker.  Somewhere out there on The Intellectual Conservative.

"Everyone is talking about Marco Rubio possibly becoming a vice-presidential nominee. But his father did not apply for naturalization until Marco was four years old. Is he eligible?

 
Marco Rubio is on most short lists for the Republican vice presidential nomination, with the principal objection the question as to whether he is constitutionally eligible. How should we view this issue? At the outset, we need to dispose of the idea that the Constitution contemplates political parties nominating candidates to run for president or vice president. Both parties and candidates have no constitutional reality at all..."
