Whatever your opinion may be, it is true that all of the presidents to date have been born in one of the 50 U.S. states.... all 44 presidents were born on U.S. soil

226 years of Precedent says you're wrong.

The first 8 were Colonial British citizens. Not US Citizens as the US did not exist when they were born. America was still a British colony. They became Presidents AFTER the American Revolution which they instigated, fought and won. President Chester Arthur was the original Birther story.

Fact are important. So the graph at your link is wrong.

Sorry, but the first 7 Presidents were not born on US soil, they were born within the British commonwealth. In fact, they were citizens of Britain.

Yet somehow they were “natural born citizens”...

I wonder why... Maybe because they were citizens from the start of the country, and we’re not immigrants to said country.

Cruz is the same, he was and is a citizen from birth.

Deal. With. It.

You may wish to look up the meaning of the word “precedent” (and review the capitalization rules as well).
