Aj was born in the US at least according to what I have read. Please show me otherwise.

You do make a good point about natural born citizen (national birthright). It Did not apply till some time in the 1860’s.

***U.S. citizens at the time of the birth. This is clearly evident in law at the time of the adoption of the Constitution and from the writings***

Funny, because that is what I always understood. Which was my first reason, but not stated why Jindal would not qualify. Unless his parents fast tracked citizenship in one year, he was born of immigrant parents.

After reading I changed it based on the definition of “natural born citizen” under qualifications of president.

So, based on the information regarding both parents being natural born citizens, does Jindal qualify or not?

I must clear up my confusion.

Thanks to both of you for the good discussion.

After all Chief Justice Roberts swore him into office, not once but twice. I think Mr. Roberts probably has a better grasp of constitutional law THAN EITHER OF US. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Sorry about the yelling sometimes when I type an A I hit the caps lock.
