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?

The People didn't vote for Arthur -- they voted for Garfield.

When Arthur ran on his on right, he didn't even win the primary. That should answer your questions.

I still didn’t find out if the Constitutional requirements changed at that time. Did they?
