    Trump says he has no questions about Rubio's eligibility to be president


    Trump says he has no questions about Rubio's eligibility to be president

    Washington (CNN) Donald Trump drew a distinction between eligibility questions surrounding Marco Rubio's run for the presidency versus those clouding Ted Cruz's bid, saying the Florida senator is qualified because although his parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of his birth, he was born in the U.S. -- unlike Cruz.

    "It's a different, very different thing because he was born here.
    He was born on the land," Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "Ted was not born on the land, and there's a very strict reading that you have to be born on the land.
    (Harvard Law professor) Laurence Tribe actually said based on Ted's views, he would have to be born on the land."


    Cruz was conferred American citizenship at birth because his mother is an American citizen, and legal experts have largely agreed that would qualify him for natural-born citizenship. The Texas Republican also had Canadian citizenship until he renounced it in 2014.

    "He was born in Canada. He was a Canadian citizen until 15 months ago, if you can believe that," Trump said.


    "He says he didn't know," Tapper replied.

    "He didn't know. Well, he didn't know about his financial papers either. You know, how are you going to be president if you didn't know about a million dollar loan from Goldman Sachs," Trump asked, referring to a controversy that surfaced earlier this week over Cruz's 2012 Senate bid. "And you said it's something you don't know about. Now he doesn't know that he was a Canadian citizen? I mean that's in a way maybe worse than all the other things we're talking about.

    Yes, he is! Trump may not know the circumstances of Rubio's parents, I saw the interview and his response wasn't exactly worded the way the article above transcribed it. No surprise there. If I were Rubio I would remember it's not his turn to be hit right now. He'll be next though! Someone will tell Trump and then Trump will say, "people are saying your parents have to be citizens, too".
