According to some Freepers around here, neither Bobby Jindal nor Marco Rubio are natural born citizens eligible for the presidency.

I believe that if one were to poll Freepers, the result would be that most of us agree that at the very minimum, a Natural Born Citizen is a citizen born to two (both) (Dos) 2 parents who are American citizens at the time of the candidate's birth. Furthermore, the birth must occur on American territory.

The parents may be Natural Born Citizens themselves, Native-Born Citizens, or Naturalized citizens. Unfortunately, Limbaugh doesn't seem to know ... or care ... much about this Constitutional requirement. But I forgive Rush. The SCOTUS doesn't seem to care much either.

Forget Rubio and Jindal as national candidates. Neither is a Natural Born Citizen. Both are playing it very coy on the subject, which does not speak well for either of them.

Maybe Obama has killed the Constitution once and for all. He never liked what he called the "negative restrictions" placed on the Federal Government.

We are now entering the "Awkward" FUBAR stage of the Republic's history. Too screwed up to fix. Too early to start shooting.
