Jindal and Rubio, both have to be high on Romney’s list for VP, since neither Jinda nor Rubio had parents who were American Citizens at the time of Jindal’s or Rubio’s birth, neither of them can possibly be Natural Born Citizens.

That is the birther interpretation. The one every court rejects and virtually no one but a fringe bunch of conspiracy theorists take seriously.

In the actual real world, both Rubio and Jindal were born in the United States and are eligible to be VP or President. Rubio is still the favorite in my opinion and is very likely to be the VP nominee.

WRONG.

There is clear legal precedent requiring citizen parents for NBC.

There is still live controversy over the matter. The failure to make progress in this matter concerning Obama is largely tied to the inability to prove positively he was born elsewhere, along with the American inclination to deem innocent until proven guilty. So Obama with the hidden past skates.

So it wouldn’t be wise to name Rubio or Jindal even if the birthplace issue weren’t a factor. Not if the GOP wants to keep the heat on Barack Obama.
