In 1916, the Republican Party nominated Charles Evans Hughes to be their presidential candidate and to run against Woodrow Wilson.
In California, the results were Wilson 466,289 (46.65%) and Hughes 462,516 (46.27%).
In New Hampshire, the results were Wilson 43,781 (49.12%) and Hughes 43,725 (49.06%) out of 89,000 votes cast
So a change of 3800 votes out of the 1 million cast in California and 60 votes out of the 90,000 cast in New Hampshire would have made Charles Evans Hughes the President of the United States.
Charles Evans Hughes was born in New York state in 1862 to a British subject father and an American citizen mother. His father David C. Hughes became a naturalized US citizen in 1864.
like 0bama, he was british by descent and a US citizen.
but, he was not a natural born citizen as he had more then one choice.
if being just a citizen was enough, the founders would not have made the distinction. indeed, they wouldn’t have mentioned the reason for the difference in the federalist papers.
