Is Jindal a NBC?

[OldNewYork]

Not a real comment, unless questionably rhetorical questions count: why would Democrats be so concerned about having to prove their candidate’s eligibility in the way Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower did if there weren’t fears on their side that what is coming from our side (and from Hilary’s, long ago) is true?

If enacting legislation which enforces Constitutional provisions really is bad for a political career then America is in deep trouble.

Agree with gov. Jindal. No person should be able to run for president without satisfying constitutional stipulations.

It’s fun to read an article that defeats its own premise.

IF Jindal is not qualified to run for president, why would it be good to ignore that fact?

And IF a “birther” bill would prevent him from running, and he signs it into law, isn’t that a selfless act on his part?

Jindal was born in Baton Rouge to parents who were here legally, and were legally under U.S. jurisdiction (i.e., not under diplomatic immunity, not soldiers of a foreign power at war against the U.S.). That means he's legally a U.S. citizen according to case law (U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark) and the obvious interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

(Whether he's an NBC eligible to run for President may, or may not, be a different question. Federal case law is crystal clear that he's a citizen, though.)

“I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for president of the greatest and most powerful nation on Earth to submit their ‘early baptismal or circumcision certificates,’ among other records, to the Arizona Secretary of State,”

Is this true? I heard the blowhard John Gibson blabbering about this today. If this is true, what the heck would we want a circumcisn record for? That just makes us look dumb. BC makes total sense, but the other stuff?? Come on.

Heck, maybe Bobby Jindal is a politician who puts the Constitution ahead of political ambition.......Who would have guessed that of a politician!

“Yet he’s already thrown his support behind other controversial GOP efforts, such as the 14th Amendment rollback that would strip citizenship away from U.S.-born children of immigrants.”

Wow. I can pretty much guarantee Jindal has done no such thing, since there are no GOP efforts to strip citizenship from the children of *legal* immigrants.

You know you’re reading a left-wing open-borders rag when you see the phrase “illegal immigrant” replaced with simply “immigrant”.

Personally, I’ll be very surprised if Obama can’t produce an undetectable forgery BC by this point in time.

The real issue is that he is not “natural born” because his father was neither a US citizen nor a legal immigrant. The Constitution is quite clear that only someone born of two citizens can be POTUS. A BC showing BHO Sr. as the father does not make him eligible.

WOW! Country before ambition.

This would be a clever ploy by Jindal. He’s signs the bill then declares for the Presidency which would put all other candidates on the spot and the Obots would be in a conundrum as do they challenge him or not. This would clearly put the focus on Jindal’s non-citizen parents and thus Ø’s alleged father.
