Louisiana Governor Releases His Birth Certificate
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal heard somewhere that all the cool politicians were releasing their birth certificates. So he released his! Tell us, Governor Jindal: If Barack Obama and Donald Trump jumped off a bridge, would you jump off too? Huh?

Jindal said recently that he has no problem signing a bill requiring presidential candidates to present their birth certificates and/or wiener papers to prove their eligibility, so in some sense he's just putting his birth certificate where his stupid mouth is. So there it is! Your proof that Bobby Jindal is an American citizen. Hurrah.

2. Why do we give these idiots ink? To run for president, you must prove your citizenship.
These state laws are just a side show to attract attention. Must we help them constantly? Do we ever smarten up?

4. Homeboy was an "anchor baby"
At the time of their immigration, Raj Jindal could have secured a student visa through LSU, and her husband could have accompanied her as a spouse, though that would not have permitted him to work.

And, under the terms of the legislation offered by Vitter, a child born to someone holding a student visa would not be eligible for birthright citizenship.

The primary target of Vitter's bill are what he calls "birth tourists," those who come to the United States to have their children for the purposes of gaining that child American citizenship, and so-called "anchor babies," children born in the United States to mothers who are living in the country illegally. The children, when they turn 21, can then seek to sponsor other family members for entry into the U.S.

Asked whether he was concerned that his legislation could adversely affect a future Bobby Jindal, whose parents simply chose to come to the United States on a student visa instead of a green card, Vitter replied, "Let's not get distracted from the real issue."

9. Can't be his ...
the name on the certificate does not say "Bobby" or even Robert ...

As I understand it, his name is Piyush ...

Funny how Obama, despite being proven to have been born in Hawaii (a state in the Union) to a U.S. citizen (his mother), was not "eligible" to be President because his parents "were not BOTH U.S. citizens" (according to some Repugs).

However, Piyush was considered a candidate for VP (hey, any black would have qualified, because if Hillary won the nomination, then McCain would have had a black VP) DESPITE HAVING NO U.S. CITIZEN AS HIS PARENT ... anchor baby ...
