You are correct. The constitution says that the POTUS and VPOTUS must be "a citizen of the United States" or a "natural-born citizen of the United States". Since Bobby Jindal was born in Louisiana, it does not matter what the status of his parents were. He is automatically a citizen. If he were born outside the United States and his parents were not citizens, that would make him ineligible. That is why Obama, if it is true that he was born in Kenya, is NOT qualified for the office he now holds becuase his father was not a citizen and his parents were not married at the time of his birth.

In United States v. Rhodes, Supreme Court Justice Noah Haynes Swayne (December 7, 1804 – June 8, 1884) addressed the issue as follows:

To be a Natural Born Citizen one has to be born in a State, or Condition of, Allegiance to the USA. A person with Dual Nationality due to having parents of differing Nationality, who both acknowledged the Birth, is not so born. Their Allegiance is, by definition, divided. Subsequent acquisition of Nationality produces the same problem."
