Many people in FR argue that the original intent of the framers regarding the “natural born” clause means BOTH PARENTS MUST BE CITIZENS OF THE USA AT THE TIME OF THE PERSON’s BIRTH.
Jindal’s parents were not American Citizens at the time of his birth ( they are now of course ).
So, those who insist that we must follow the original intent of the constitution make a distinction between NATURAL BORN ( born from American Parents ) and NATIVE BORN ( born in the USA with one or both parents who are not American ).
Hence, by this argument, Obama should have been disqualified. Jindal too of course I( because he is simply NATIVE born, not NATURAL born ).
Feel free to argue against this distinction if you believe it isn’t right. I’d like to hear anyone else’s interpretation of the “natural born” clause.
Unlike you, they have actually fead the statutes. Of course if you look at the current dispute in Alaska, I guess statutes don't matter. All you need is the right judge.
Well, he is
