Given your screen name, you ought to know the last major party nominee for President who was NOT born in the United States. No, it wasn't in the 19th century. It was Barry Goldwater. He was born in the Arizona Territory, before that was admitted to the Union as a state.

Wasn't Goldwater technically born in the nation of the United States, just not in one of the several states? Same as if someone born in DC were to want to run for President. Arizona territory was part of the United States when AuH20 was born there.

You got it! Good one. The United States didn't even exist when the first few presidents were born, so how could they be born in the US?
Your reply is great. Goldwater wasn't born in the US either. Excellent and thanks!
