It's no surprise that all 44 presidents were born on U.S. soil

Nothing to see here people, move along.

Looks like they left one out. Or maybe they just got it wrong.

Wasn’t there evidence that Chester Arthur was born in Canada? Also, what about the Kenyan-born current occupant of the WH?

There are some that believe that Chester Arthur was born in Canada, not Vermont.

sorry folks, lots wrong here.
POTUS birth is one thing.
“Candidate’s” birth is relevant too.
just a few recent items:

McCain born in Canal Zone, NOT “US Soil”
Romney’s Dad born in Mexico.
No evidence of Obambis’ birth place produced anywhere, nor documented by anything.

Cruz born in Canada
Rubio, greencard parents not citizens
Jindal parents on student visa’s.

Remember the issue with Goldwater?
Born in Arizona territory before it was a state.

The Donald?
Born in Queens from two citizens parents.
That one meets the requirement.

That is not correct.

There were 8 presidents (Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Jackson and Harrison) who were not born on U.S. soil.

But the Constitution did allow for that.

The first eight of nine presidents were born under British Rule, foreign influence. It was until after 1845 or so we started to have President born in United States.

President not born in the United States.

George Washington
John Adams
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
James Monroe
John Quincy Adams
Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson
William Henry Harrison

A lot of smart, reasonable people honestly believe that history suggests that the Founding Fathers used the term “natural born” as an expansive definition of citizenship, that is, as a way to make certain that people born overseas to American citizens would have the full rights of other American citizens.

It is estimated that there has been hundreds of thousands of children born aboard to military and support personal over the last 44 years. We should not trust these scum? If only they were born in America so we can ensure their loyalty.

At this moment there are over 150,000 military personal alone deployed. Thousands live with their families and have babies. Not only military but business leaders, doctors, students studying abroad, and countless loyal Americans might have a child overseas while ministering, studying, working, curing disease, making new discoveries, and traveling. I suppose none of these children are loyal to the United States? Give me the child of someone that lived off the government tit their whole life. The child of a crack head over someone raised by an American saving lives overseas.

When Cruz’s electors are before the Congress for the challenge to their qualifications because of Cruz’s ineligibility, don’t expect Paul Ryan to support him.

Even the losing major party candidates going back to the 1st presidential election were all born in the United States. The only asterisk would be John McCain born in the U.S. Panama Canal Zone.

I think that, prior to Obama, all the Presidents self-selected based on their own understanding of what the "natural born citizen" clause meant.

A 43-President run should count for something.

Just something to think about....

If all it takes to be a ‘Natural Born Citizen’ is one U.S. citizen parent.... then every “Love Child” fathered by US servicemen around the world qualifies to be President of the U.S.

Proclamation Conferring Honorary U.S. Citizenship on Sir Winston Churchill
delivered 9 April 1963, Rose Garden, The White House, Washington, D.C.

Why is this mentioned? Well, Sir Winston Churchill’s Mother was 100% American. Yet, he was born in the UK. Sound familiar.. And yet, the US Gov’t and Pres. JF Kennedy decided it would be a GREAT Honor to grant “Honorary” citizenship to him....... Get that, HONORARY! However, I’ll top this Cruz and offer Bibi Netanyahu.
Cheltenham High School, In Pa. Abington Township , Pa. Bibi grew up in the US. So, others can play the NBC game too is all I suggest!
