It seemed to appear somewhere around November, 2008. Funny, there's several threads about Jindal dating from September, 2008 with many posts supporting the idea of a "Palin/Jindal" candidacy in 2012. I haven't perused all of them but I have yet to see a post arguing Jindal's ineligibility that dates prior to Obama's election.
In MY 8th grade class were were taught if you were born here, you were thus natural born and eligible for the Presidency.
Same here and I'm 42 years old. Perhaps someone can cite a textbook entry?
It has simply blown my mind that so many people have been yelling this from the rooftops when not a single person in the whole wide world didn’t know that Obama senior was not a citizen.
Were they thinking that maybe that was news to the SCOTUS and it just needed to be pointed out?
Perhaps Chief Justice Roberts missed that day in class. You'd think that Hillary Clinton, a woman who wanted to be President more than anyone as well as a graduate of Yale Law might've brought up this alleged constitutional prohibition that Obama faced.
Sorry folks....I haven’t found a single legal mind that agrees with you.
I know of not one reputable conservative legal foundation that supports a definition of NBC that requires both parents to be U.S. citizens.
Refreshing to read your comments.
I doubt you'll find one. They've created their own definition to invalidate Obama, and now they're trying to convince everyone that it's been obvious the whole time and anyone who doesn't follow along is just supporting Obama.

Googling for Vattel on FR, the earliest mention of de Vattel in connection with Obama's eligibility that I could find was this thread, posted on 11 December 2008, in which STARWISE quotes Leo Donofrio, that oh-so-successful crackpot birther lawyer, quoting de Vattel on citizenship. Can anybody find something from before the election?
