In 1843, at the time of Arthur’s birth, his father had already obtain his U.S. citizenship.

Big difference when compared to Obama, especially in light of past cases involving presidential eligibility.

Also, very interesting as to how Bobby Jindal is not considered eligible to run for president due to his parents not being naturalized citizens at the time of his birth.

You'll have to source that one. If he was born on American soil, he is a natural born citizen under current law (look upthread -- someone cited the applicable law).

Who doesn't consider him eligible? Certainly no one credible.

Didn't someone (D'Onofrio?) discover in 2008 that Chester Arthur's father didn't become a U.S. citizen until Arthur was 14 years old? This mean's Arthur's father WAS NOT a citizen at Arthur's birth, so Arthur wasn't a natural born United States citizen.
