If you think the Wong Kim Ark decision settled who are natural born citizens, you have misinterpreted it.
“Check out United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898):
Its addressed there.”
Correct, but unlike the parents of Wong Kim Ark the father of Barack Obama did not have a permanent domicile in the US, and permanent doicile was one of the facts cited by the court majority. The precedent would apply to Bobby Jindal, whose parents did permanently reside in the USA.
However, I agree with the dissenters (Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Harlan) who said:
“it is unreasonable to conclude that ‘natural born citizen’ applied to everybody born within the geographical tract known as the United States, irrespective of circumstances; and that the children of foreigners, happening to be born to them while passing through the country, whether of royal parentage or not, or whether of the Mongolian, Malay, or other race, were eligible to the presidency, while children of our citizens, born abroad, were not.”
