From James Taranto:
OK, I have a brilliant idea. Romney should consider Obama for vice president. That way he’d finally get vetted.

Don’t you have to be born in America to be eligible for the office of vice president?
There aren’t any explicit rules for VP, but its accepted that the VP has the same requirements as Pres.
The VP clearly has to be a natural born citizen, 35 or over, to assume the Office of President, however. Therefore, Romney shouldn’t even consider Rubio since what’s the point of having a Vice President if he can’t assume the highest office?
^ Jimmy, which of those qualifications does Rubio fail?
It’s my understanding that he’s not “natural born.” A citizen, yes. Anyone have more info ?
It’s my understanding (could be wrong) that Rubio was born here and that his parents were legal Cuban immigrants. Like I said, I could be wrong. Don’t really see where it would matter anymore considering we currently have a sitting president who has dual citizenship…..
