According to the Supreme Court in Kim Wong Ark, 1890s decision - and you know all this, or should - Jindhal is a US citizen, as he was born in the U.S. to legal U.S. residents. That *is* the law of the land in the United States for over 100 years. Stop perverting the law to suit your political grandstanding.
Why are you dredging this up on a thread of Jindhal saying he’s NOT running for President, making your nutcase theory moot? Which part of “All persons” in the 14th amendment do you not understand?
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
This is a point in dispute. One might also say, perhaps more correctly, that Jindal became a US Citizen when his parents did, in other words he, and his parents are naturalized citizens.
Key to the dispute is the interpretation of the word "jurisdiction." Is a person born to foreign citizens under US jurisdiction? IOW, can one country take citizens out of their native land's jurisdiction? "Yes," is the answer. When those from the foreign jurisdiction become American citizens, not before. See the Oath of Citizenship.
The pernicious practice of granting automatic citizenship all those born here is generous, but quite wrong-minded custom.
Bobby is a pretty good governor, a terrible public speaker, and a bit timid, other than that, he is just as good a citizen as I, except that I am a "Natural Born Citizen," and he is not.
See you in court someday, I sincerely hope. Until and if then, we can discuss this ad nauseam without reaching a conclusion. Every sandwich at a Subway Sandwich Shoppe is indeed an equally honorable sandwich. However, the Tuna Sub is not the Roast Beef Sub.
Jindals mother came to the US on a student scholarship she was 3-4 months pregnant when she arrived. While a student she applied to the school to pay the expenses of the birth. It was denied because the pregnancy was preexisting.
The parents were citizens of India when the child was born.
