Possibly.

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

I do think the parents’ citizenship trumps birthplace.

***It’s a bit of a grey area, which is why we keep seeing trolls posting that McCain might be ineligible, even though he was born of 2 citizens who were expats on official country business. But it’s just an academic exercise, I don’t really care because McCain didn’t win the election.
