Chester A. Arthur was in the same boat and took over after Garfield was assassinated*. So, can Cruz be a vice presidential candidate?

“Chester A. Arthur was in the same boat and took over after Garfield was assassinated*. So, can Cruz be a vice presidential candidate?”

The answer is no. Chester Arthur slipped through the cracks like Obama did. Arthur was never eligible.

If he is not eligible to be president he is disqualified from VP.

Chester Arthur was also an American General in the Civil War, whether that had any influence or not, I can’t say. If Obama was a U.S.General in Viet Nam or the Gulf War, I don’t think I would make an issue of his place of birth. Had Cruz fought in the Gulf, I would lean towards him too.

There was a lot of controversy over Arthur at the time.

He acted much like Obama has. But, Arthur was really born in Vermont, despite claims of Canadian birth.

However, Arthur’s father was not an American citizen when Chester was born. Arthur concealed that until he left office.
