Have we ever had a president who had a parent who was not an American at the time he was born?
***Possibly: Chester A. Arthur

Maybe Obama will be the Second Foreign-Born President in History

Possibly.

But weren’t Arthur’s parents Americans, at least by the time of his birth?

I do think the parents’ citizenship trumps birthplace.
