Something that recently occured to me is this. The first nine presidents were not born in the United States, but Rather in the British colonies. It was not until John Taylor, born in 1790 that a president was born in the US. So how did they go about getting elected?

Obviously you are one of those Freepers who posts without reading other peoples comments first. Read posts #35, #52, and #75 All presidents of the United States were either born in the United States or territory that became a state prior to their becoming president. You are wrong about President Taylor being the first born in the United States. The United States existed from July 4, 1776 till 1787 under the Articles of Confederation. Martin Van Buren, the eighth president was born in 1782
