Gov. Bobby Jindal releases his birth certificate
The Times-Picayune ^ | May 6 2011 | Jonathon Tilove

Gov. Bobby Jindal arrived in the United States in utero, his mother about three months pregnant. jindal-birth-certificate.jpgView full sizeGov. Bobby Jindal's birth certificate

As he wrote last year in his book, "Leadership and Crisis," his mother had been offered a scholarship in 1970 to complete a graduate degree in nuclear physics at LSU.

When she informed the university that she couldn't accept the scholarship because she was pregnant, "LSU wrote back and promised her a month off for childbirth if she changed her mind. LSU was so accommodating, and the opportunity to come to America so thrilling, that my parents accepted.

"So, my parents stepped out on faith, secured green cards, packed up a few suitcases, said their goodbyes, and took off for this exotic new place called Baton Rouge, Louisiana."

"If he wasn’t so busy in LA, he’d be my first choice for President of the United States.

Unfortunately, Jindal's parents were not citizens when he was born meaning he is not a natural born citizen.

I do have to say also, that the picture of Barry and Chandoo is a little creepy. They are sitting way to close together. (as my understanding of guys)

Jindal isn’t really my first pick for President, but surely you realize that if he decides to run, there won’t be any legal opposition to it.

There it is. Vitter is wanting to change the laws instead of abiding by them. Sorry, Vitter, but Jindal was not, is not, and never will be a NBC by the laws set out by the founding fathers in the Constitution. I like Bobby Jindal.... He would make a great president ... Look what he has done for Louisiana!.......But; I must admit his is "not" a Natural Born Citizen.... ******************************************************************************* Obama's ..."Legal"... Father Obama Sr. was a Kenyan with British Citizenship ****************************************************************************** Obama admits this!!...... Obama is... "not"... eligible to be POTUS because his ***********father was never an American Citizen!!*****************

Oh, but I think that it’s relevant and a fascinating piece of history.

Certainly most people who run for President fit your definition. However, Barry Goldwater, John McCain, and B.H. Obama, who do not, have been nominated by the major parties with little hesitation re: “natural born citizen”. If you want to lobby to have your definition written into law, go for it.

Chester Arthur excluded. There are doubts about the “everyone” knew theory, there hasn’t been a ONE, since Barry.

Amongst the backroom deals, there will not be. My understanding of my Senator McShamnesty is that he was NOT born on a base but in a city hospital. If this is interpreted as Barry voted on in the resolution about MCCain and interpreted as how Barry voted on it, then Barry believed that both parents were citizens of The United States. IMHO John wasn’t an NBC either. As Satindoll stated, there are many threads debating the NBC issue, with court cases, and Senator Barack Obama voting for the McCain resolution.

You need to re-read the piece.

Vitter's bill is about "birth tourism" and anchor babies. It doesn't address presidential eligibility but common birthright citizenship. That is citizenship derived from birth parent's citizenship and/or birth location.

In California we had a clinic aimed at Chinese nationals specifically for them to come, give birth and go home. They did this so the new child would be American and they could avoid China's "one child" policy.

If you need the problem of anchor babies explained, read the article.

Yes, Barry G was born in the territory. I believe that would fit the definition. But again, he never was President.

Having gone through a bloody ten years of fighting toward the formation of a country Independent of Britain, it is understandable what the Founding Fathers would have meant by NBC. They did NOT want a President with British Allegiance.

I’m with you guys.

I don’t know where this draconian definition of NBC came from.

In MY 8th grade class were were taught if you were born here, you were thus natural born and eligible for the Presidency.

It has simply blown my mind that so many people have been yelling this from the rooftops when not a single person in the whole wide world didn’t know that Obama senior was not a citizen.

Were they thinking that maybe that was news to the SCOTUS and it just needed to be pointed out?

Sorry folks....I haven’t found a single legal mind that agrees with you.

This link shows “codes” that define citizenship. Just saying. I don’t see anywhere reading the constitution that it assumes NBC says both parents are already citizens.

We have doctors in Nogales, AZ that have set up advertisements for such “births”. Citizenship whether Naturalized or Birth on soil is one thing, but NBC, those words chosen by the Constitutional Authors is another.

If you want to lobby to have your definition written into law, go for it.

It is already written into the Supreme Law of the Land, the US Constitution, and supported by no less than four Supreme Court decisions, the pertinent portions of which have been posted on FR multiple times.

A Natural Born Citizen is one born in the USA to parents who are citizens. That is what is required to be eligible for the office of president.

It’s the parents that aren’t subject to the jurisdiction of, that I’m having a problem with and until the Supreme Court Rules on it, as in Roe v Wade, it’s not settled.
