Again, it is VERY SIMPLE. If you were/are a citizen from birth, go ahead and run for President. You obviously were - your case is like John McCain, who was born outside the US to US citizen parents. Eligible.

There are only two types of US citizen - natural-born and naturalized. If you are a US citizen, you are either:
1) A citizen from birth, aka natural-born citizen
2) A naturalized citizen (via immigration process)
Everyone in category #1 is eligible to be President.

As per the 14th amendment, Jindhal is in #1. Thus he is eligible to be President.

Just being born here does not make you a “Natural Born Citizen”....it just makes you a citizen. Therefore you do not have the right to be president.

Only if your parents were also citizens at the time of your birth would you then be considered a “Natural Born Citizen”.

The 14th Amendment is now naturalization at birth. At the time when it was adopted, there was about 4+ million former slaves who were not US citizens. The 14th Amendment naturalized them as citizens. It is a man made law and not natural law. So people considered as 14th Amendment citizens are not natural born citizens.

It’s really stupid to waste your time on this. Jindal is never going to be nominated, not a chance in hell. We have one foreign usurper now, he doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell. Mark my words.
