“Both Rubio and Jindal are citizens of the USA”

Yes, but they are NOT Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, NATURAL BORN CITIZENS. BOTH parents have to be “U.S. citizens” at the the time of the child's birth.

EVERYONE at the time of the founding knew exactly why “citizen” was changed to be “Natural Born Citizen”. They relied on Vattel’s “The Law of Nations” definition. Copies of which were in the library, in French AND English, where the constitution was written.

The Supreme Court has stated the same in several opinions/decisions.

There is NO DOUBT,

Well, there are many people who do not agree with your interpretation, actually most people do not agree.

“Copies of which were in the library, in French AND English, where the constitution was written.”

Don’t forget that many of the Founder’s could both speak and write in French, so a translation was only needed by a few......

Andrew Jackson served as the 7th President of the U.S. He was born in 1767. His parents immigrated from Ireland in 1765. Given your interpretation of “Natural Born Citizen”, was he eligible to be President?
