there were persisting allegations that he was born in Canada. They just *couldn’t prove it*....Now, does that sound familiar...?

I'm reading up on Arthur... could it be that he wasn't scrutinized because he was a VP who assumed the office via assassination?

So you're arguing FOR more scrutiny before it's too late?

If you’re reading up on Chester Arthur, be sure to read the information on Leo Donofrio’s website at naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com. He discovered never before known information about his birth and when his father was naturalized, etc.

You asked — “So you’re arguing FOR more scrutiny before it’s too late?”

I don’t know how much more scrutiny can be given to this, considering all that I’ve seen so far. It would be hard to exceed what has been done already in “scrutiny”.

The point is that our Constitution is still intact, because Arthur did not “flout” the fact that he was foreign born, but said that he was natural born. So, he was *stating* that he followed the Constitution. The problem was (back then, as it is today) that no one could *prove it*.

And so, when we look to history — do we see that all these *problems* (which posters say will happen with a foreign born President) — did they happen with Arthur?

I’m wondering what happen to that Constitutional provision for Natural Born in the Constitution — after — Arthur was President? Was it trashed?

Also, what happened to Arthur’s legislation? Was it all invalid? Also, did foreign government blackmail him?

That’s the idea — to get an idea of what people are “in store for” by looking at history and seeing what happened in the past — with the very same thing...
