Does that mean that we can also count out Bobby Jindal?
It would.
I don’t know anything about Jindal other then his he was born in Lousiana to immigrant parents who were not citizens.
India use to be a british colony but declared independence in 1947. Not sure when Jindals parents were born. Not sure if it matters because upon independence my guess is all converted to Indian Citzenship.
Kenya was a british colony until 1963, two years after Obama was born so Obama would be subject to the 1948 BN Act.
I am just guessing though. I don’t know enough about and I don’t care if Jindal is or not. If he is not then he can forget about running and he needs to figure it out now.

If Gov. Jindal’s parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of their son’s birth in the United States, then no, he cannot be considered “natural born”. He would however, be a citizen by birth because they were here as legal residents.
The children born here of parents who are foreign nationals without legal documentation (in the U.S.A. illegally) are considered the nationality of their parent’s country of origin.
Only six other U.S. presidents had a foreign-born parent. Mr. Obama will be the first in nearly ninety years, since President Herbert Hoover was inaugurated in 1929.
Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) is the only president born of two immigrants, both Irish. Presidents with one immigrant parent are Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), whose mother was born in England, James Buchanan (1857-1861) and Chester Arthur (1881-1885), both of whom had Irish fathers, and Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) and Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), whose mothers were born respectively in England and Canada.
