Gov. Bobby Jindal arrived in the United States in utero, his mother about three months pregnant. As he wrote last year in his book, "Leadership and Crisis," his mother had been offered a scholarship in 1970 to complete a graduate degree in nuclear physics at LSU.

When she informed the university that she couldn't accept the scholarship because she was pregnant, "LSU wrote back and promised her a month off for childbirth if she changed her mind. LSU was so accommodating, and the opportunity to come to America so thrilling, that my parents accepted. "So, my parents stepped out on faith, secured green cards, packed up a few suitcases, said their goodbyes, and took off for this exotic new place called Baton Rouge, Louisiana." They arrived Feb 1, 1971, and a bit over six months later, on June 10, 1971, Piyush Jindal was born at Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge, a natural-born U.S. citizen, who like every other child born in America, could, constitutionally, grow up to be president.

No, no, no. A native born U.S. citizen, not natural born of two American citizens...he cannot be President. Doubt Rubio can, either.

[American Dream 246]

I don't know about Rubio but it's pretty clear to me that Jindal is NOT a natural born citizen therefore not eligible for president- both parents were not citizens at the time of his birth. And I am sure he knows it. But sadly, I guess the Constitution not meaning anything anymore, they will probably think it does not matter.

Well..Jindal is a republican so the liberals will love the Constitution suddenly...with a bit of luck.

Who cares, one way or another. Jindal has about as much chance of being President as you and I do.

Amen to that. I am sure he is a great governor though but I don't see him winning anything in a big race.

“But sadly, I guess the Constitution not meaning anything anymore”

You mean the Constitution that says natural born citizens must be born of citizen parents? Where do I get a copy of that long-lost document?

[mas cerveza por favor]

Racist!

[Lou Budvis]

Where does it say that in the Constitution?

Fine! Obama is eligible. Jindal is eligible. My dog is eligible.

Perhaps we should just go with Prince Harry. He did such a good job as best man in the royal wedding, plus the Brits don’t really need him and we seem to be all about electing a king now a’days.

Arrrg! This crud makes me so frustrated. I feel like I’m the only one that is mad about this stuff!

Its called the constitution. Why are we letting these people disregard our most basic articles of law?!
