The natural born citizen issue is always touchy. In the case of Bobby Jindal, Bobby was born in the USA and America’s law makes him a native born citizen.
However, in his case his parents had come to the US only as students. He was conceived in India and born 6 months after arriving in the US. It’s fairly certain that his parents were on student visas. At the time of accepting a grad assistant position at LSU, there is absolutely no evidence that they intended to remain in the US.
My sense of it is that Jindal was also an NBC of India, although I don’t really know Indian law. My sense is that it would reflect British law, and that would lead to a fairly certain guess that Jindal was born an NBC of India.
This is a tough one. The bottom line is that he was born a citizen. He meets the letter of the law. If, however, his parents had been diplomats, I’m not sure he would.
Where did you get the idea that Jindal is a successful governor. LA is practically broke; has been using temporary funds for the budget for years now.
Blanco was more fiscally conservative than Jindal. But she is a big Democrat
Doesn't say a lot about Jindal then does it?
