So here's a question . . .

. . . If Trump can overturn birthright citizenship by executive fiat, shouldn't that thereby nullify Marco Rubio's citizenship, and disqualify him from serving as Secretary of State?

And shouldn't we then be deporting his ass back to Cuba?

Rubio’s parents were legal residents. So even under Trump’s version of the rule he would be a citizen

Neither of Rubio's parents were U.S. citizens at the time of Rubio's birth,[5][6] but they applied for U.S. citizenship and were naturalized in 1975.[4]

The question is not whether or not they were citizens… it’s only whether they were here legally.

Musk was himself an immigrant who had apparently broken the law. In the 1990s, he worked illegally in the United States, according to the Post, which cited “former business associates, court records and company documents.”
