Because You Didn’t Ask: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal Releases Birth Certificate

Where has Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal been all week? President Obama’s birth certificate finally retired as a meme last week as the President released the long-form version and rebooted the news cycle with news of Osama Bin Laden‘s death. After the “birthers” hijacked the public consciousness for a good month, no one even knows who Donald Trump is anymore, and yet Jindal chose yesterday to release his birth certificate to make a point.

Jindal’s spokesman told the Times-Picayune that he released the certificate as a preemptive strike should his name be in the running as a 2012 vice presidential candidate (Jindal’s name was tossed around as a presidential candidate against Obama in 2008). Jindal had, to much criticism, expressed tepid support for a Louisiana legislature bill that would require the showing of birth certificates, and noted that he perceived his status as the son of immigrants could turn into a problem if he did not clarify the issue before it blossomed into a campaign problem.

While it may seem on a national scale that Gov. Jindal is very, very late on releasing this if he was trying to catch the political tide, the state climate in Louisiana continues to be the sort that proves favorable for legislation making it more difficult to prove citizenship and office eligibility. Much of that has to do with the fact that Louisianans have remarkably not yet arrested and/or otherwise ejected problematic Sen. David Vitter from public life, and the Senator, who Jindal did not endorse in the 2010 elections despite being the head of the state’s party, is sponsoring his own bill to keep questionable sorts out of the top office:

“My bill limits birthright citizenship to individuals born in the United States with at least one parent who is a legal citizen, a green card holder or an active member of the U.S. armed forces,” said Vitter in introducing his legislation on the Senate floor last month.

Were it to become law, Vitter’s bill would not be retroactive, and even if it were, or if it had been the law when Jindal was born, the future governor would have been eligible for birthright citizenship because his parents had green cards, giving them the status of permanent legal residents.

While the bill wouldn’t affect Jindal at all, it seems he would rather be safe than sorry on the birth certificate front. And given these past three years of birther madness, who can really blame him? His full certificate below:

Its a certificate of live birth Piyush. Where the hell is the BC that no one is asking you for?

lol what kind of moron is this guy? think you got us fooled with your fake photoshopped certificate of live birth?

If Bobby Jindal’s parents were not naturalized US citizens before his birth then he is a native-born US Citizen, but not a Natural Born Citizen, and not eligible to be a US President.

I hope somebody picks Piyush Amrit Jindal to be the GOP VP, that will be fun.

Scanned documents aren’t evidence of anything even if they are legitimate. The entire reason there is a professional field known as forensic document examination is that a great deal can be told from examination of the original document itself. Much, much less can be told by looking at a photocopy of a document and very little, if anything at all, can be told from looking at a digital image that purports to be an image of an original document. Too much opportunity for adulteration, no opportunity to examine the paper, the ink, any impressions made on the paper, etc. These online arguments discussing images (especially photographic images) are like people studying animals by examining imitation scat.

C’mon Piyush, jump into the race. The GOP needs your dynamic personality!

Obama is still ahead of Gov. Jindal.

Not only has the president released a long-form birth certificate, he’s also got the home movie of his birth.

“I assume all the states will continue with their birther bills? Remember, they said this wasn’t just cause the “colored” guy was President… It was because it’s what the founders wanted! So can we please get continuing coverage of all the birther bills that I assume will still be passed?”

Tell It!

The fact that such an obvious forgery as the Obama birth certificate is not gaining any traction from Republican leadership is a puzzlement.

Do you suppose the Republicans are saving this damaging revelation for later on? Why use it now? Wouldn’t it have a more powerful effect nearer election time?

this is a waste of time and space……WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THIS????????

I think of the president on April 27th when he said at the press conference when he released his BC. “We do not have time for this silliness, we have bigger stuff to do” America the ridiculous!
jacobtigger

WOW…These are the birth cirtificaets they have given out in La since I was born in 1965. They are the same form he has. There is no “long form”./
Secondly, this man is more intelligent than the last 10 presidents that we have had. So yes, I would vote for him.
His state did not accept bailout money, just like texas.
He demanded a balanced budget which, when tax dollars fell, he said step up and cut your “special programs” like Ronal R did in the early eighties.
He is exceptional under pressure.
He has servied on Bush 1 staff and has lead his party.
He is an EXCELLENT speaker and debater. he will CRUSH Obama in a debate.
The Republican Party caused him to speak slooooooowwwwwwwww after the first state of the union – which is NOT how he normally speaks at ALL.
AND he released this because of racial idiots in his own state wanting to pass bills. It has come-up since this crap came up with Obama. He just waited because if you haven’t noticed, we had an oil spill, hurricanes and other natural disasters to deal with instead of attending concerts and basketball games.

The 1948 British Nationality Act extended consulate jurisdiction wherever a child was born to a British citizen, in territory under treaty.

On June 6, 1951, in Washington DC, President Harry S. Truman signed The 1951 British Treaty, authorizing Britain extraterritorial jurisdiction over British citizens, in the USA, where consular officers could register births to British citizens, in the district of jurisdiction, and to issue passports to those children.

Barack Obama Sr, was a foreign born student, on a non-immigrant student visa (8USC1101(a)(15)(F)(i)), under British consular jurisdiction, per 1951 British Treaty.

If Barack H Obama II, was born in the Hawaii, then per (circa 1961 law) 8USC1401(a)(1), he would have been native born a US citizen, and under consular jurisdiction of the 1951 British Treaty and the under jurisdiction of British Nationality Act of 1948, Part II(5)(1)(a) he was born a British Citizen, thus a dual-citizen UK/US, and not a natural born citizen, and not constitutionally eligible for the 2008 or 2012 Presidential elections.

lol. There was no such treaty. Here’s the treaties that went into effect in 1951:

1951 – Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide – (with U.S. qualifications)
1951 – Treaty of San Francisco – a peace treaty between the Allied powers and Japan; ends the Pacific conflict of World War II
1951 – Mutual Defense Treaty – between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America
1951 – Treaty of Security between the United States and Japan (updated 1960)

The “British Treaty” clearly isn’t there. Pathetic birther propaganda at its worst.
