Chester Arthur’s lies came during his Vice Presidential campaign in 1880. His fraudulent attempt to obfuscate family history provides context and evidence that in 1880 it was recognized that having been born as a British citizen would make one ineligible to be President or VP. His falsification of family history indicates he was aware of POTUS ineligibility.

This is key.

“His falsification of family history indicates he was aware of POTUS ineligibility.”

Finally, rock-solid “evidence” that dual citizenship is bad.

By the way, why would we take Chester Arthur’s word for it that the Founders wouldn’t have excepted dual citizens? I mean, Chester Arthur wasn’t a Founder, nor a constitutional scholar. Should we take Cheney’s decision to be merely VP proof that he knew the Founder’s didn’t consider people with prominent sneers natural born citizens?
