What is your position on Rubio and Jindal? I am not saying that you, or any one else, would support them if one of them were to run, but clearly if you apply the history of case law and the constitution that both would eligible as well.

Jindal is an anchor baby, born while his parents were here as students having every intention of returning to India (I believe) their native country. Jindal would have been a natural born citizen of India by our interpretation of law.

This would arguably preclude an anchor baby from being an NBC.

Rubio would be another anchor baby, but whose parents were Cuban refugees, with his mother early on pursuing citizenship in the US, and his father permanent resident status. I don’t recall if his mother had her citizenship before or after his birth. It would make a difference. That would make Rubio the child of two denizens or 1 citizen and 1 denizen, depending on the date of her citizenship.
