“There are many citizens who are not eligible to be President because they were not born on US soil.”

But not ones who were born citizens.

I have no idea what you are talking about. You comment makes no sense. Citizens who were “born citizens”? What does that mean? The question was: if he was born on US soil to non-citizen parents, is he eligible to be president. People who are not born on US soil are not eligible to be president, with very narrow exceptions, such as was the case of John McCain. The “citizens who are not eligible to be President because they were not born on US soil” to which I refer are naturalized citizens, such as Arnold S., who is not eligible to run for the presidency. He is a citizen, but he was not born on US soil. People who are born on US soil are 1) citizens and 2) eligible to run. Jindal meets the criteria.

.
That is wholely dependent on whether their parents were also citizens at the time of birth. If the parents are not citizens, the child is a citizen, but not a “Natural Born” citizen.
