Arthur may or may not have been a Natural born citizen ,it depends on what source of information you use. here is some of the “facts” I encountered on my personal research.
1. Arthur was born in Ireland
2. Arthur was born in Canada
3. Arthur used the birth date of a younger brother
4. Arthur’s father became naturalized when he(Arthur) was
year old.
5. Arthur was 14 years old when his father was naturalized.
It amuses me that liberals continue to use Arthur as a example, his opponent tried to have him removed from the election on the grounds that his father was not a Natural Born citizen. It’s clear that in the 1800’s both parents had to be U.S. a citizens to be considered Natural Born. NO law has been passed to change the meaning.
THERE WAS A QUESTION ON WHETHER ;OR NOT ARTHUR WAS A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN , THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT OBAMA IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. obama IS NOT ,NOR EVER CAN BE THE LEGAL PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Obama's reputed father was never a US citizen. At the very least, Obama's eligibility should be challenged and brought to SCOTUS, since the courts have never ruled on exactly what constitutes a "natural born citizen" under the Constitution as it pertains to the Presidency.
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
