The birthers are out peddling their mis-representations of the Constitution again... sigh.
“Natural-born citizen” means citizen from time of birth.
Jindhal is that.
“The 14th Amendment has ZERO to do with it, fwiw.”
Wrong. 14th makes it clear that if you are born in the US, you are a citizen from birth. It ended second-class citizenship and de facto slavery. There is NO distinction between ANYONE born in the US, we are all EQUAL citizens.
The only ones excluded by Article II are naturalized citizens.
Is Jindal a naturalized citizen? NO. Citizen from birth, ergo eligible.
Your attempt to create a distinction is ANTI-14th-amendment, antithetical to the point of the amendment.
The Constitution trumps your opinion.
“I strongly doubt that if a freed black slave’s child ran for President that they would be considered natural born. May sound harsh,”
Not just harsh, but totally wrong.They would be eligible - as would ANYONE who was a citizen from birth.
It hasn’t been argued and decided. Womg King Ark is a trump, like Miller is in gun law.
