Summary
Professor Toto examines the constitutional meaning of “natural born Citizen” and applies his interpretation to Marco Rubio. The article distinguishes ordinary citizenship from the special presidential qualification in Article II and surveys founding-era evidence including John Jay's 1787 letter, the Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1795, English concepts of jus soli and jus sanguinis, the Fourteenth Amendment, and United States v. Wong Kim Ark. The author proposes a one-citizen-parent theory, under which a U.S.-born person whose parents were both noncitizens at birth might be a citizen from birth yet fail Article II's presidential qualification. The article applies the same proposed standard to Rubio and Kamala Harris and supplements the constitutional argument with Paul's inherited Roman citizenship in Acts 22.
