Jindal is said to be among those shortlisted as the Vice President running mate of Mitt Romney

Piyush Amrit “Bobby” Jindal

born June 10, 1971 in Baton Rouge, LA (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Amar Jindal born in India, naturalized Dec. 4, 1986
Raj Jindal born in India, naturalized Sept 21, 1976.

Parents were NOT US Citizens at the time of his birth (Does NOT meet the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Bobby Jindal is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Bobby's status is the same as that of Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, who is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

As you admit, Jindal was born June 10, 1971 in Baton Rouge, LA.

That’s it. End of story. He’s a “natural born” U.S. citizen as eligible as you or I. Doesn’t matter where your parents were born, and no court has ever held otherwise, nor will any court ever do so.

He’d make a great campaigner, debater, conservative advocate and Vice President, as would many others. Romney could do far worse than Jindal.

The Natural Born Citizen part does not seem to bother Obama.

My problem is that if we pick Jindal or Rubio we basically endorse the fact that Obama is not a Natural Born citizen but we accept him anyway.

I do not accept Obama in any way shape or form.

The Seventh U.S. President with a Foreign-Born Parent

With Barack Obama’s election, immigrant parents from all over the world can now honestly tell their American-born[*] children that they, too, can dream of one day becoming president. It’s a cultural as much as as a racial barrier that’s fallen: As the son of a Kenyan man, Barack Obama will be the first U.S. president with a parent born outside the British Isles or Canada.

Only six other U.S. presidents had a foreign-born parent. Mr. Obama will be the first in nearly ninety years, since President Herbert Hoover was inaugurated in 1929.

Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) is the only president born of two immigrants, both Irish. Presidents with one immigrant parent are Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), whose mother was born in England, James Buchanan (1857-1861) and Chester Arthur (1881-1885), both of whom had Irish fathers, and Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) and Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), whose mothers were born respectively in England and Canada.

[*] There’s of course considerable doubt about Barack Hussein Obama’s alleged U.S. birth.

Was Washington a NBC? There were no US citizens at the time of his birth.

I am not trying to take issue with Jus Soli / Jus Sanguinis / Vattel but just want to understand how this reading of Jus Sanguinis can be reconciled with the facts in the case of the Founders.

This is a good-faith question -- I am fine with Sarah or Rand or (if he is Constitutional) Bobby as VP -- though I am putting on my asbestos suit here in any event, meaning that I don't foresee the need to reply unless I have more questions.

Thanks in advance.
