“And yet, nowhere in the Constitution, Federal law or case law is there any evidence that the status of one’s parents or the fact that one is a dual citizen makes any difference to one’s qualification as a NBC.”


The historical record of Presidents shows us that the 20th President of the United States Chester A. Arthur’s father, William Arthur was born in Ireland and immigrated to Dunham, Quebec, Canada. Chester Arthur’s mother, Malvina was from Vermont.
Arthur may (and I repeat MAY) have been born in Canada although Vermont is claimed as his birth place. During his lifetime President Arthur lied about his birth date, claiming to have been born in 1830 when he was actually born in 1829.

Correction in the post above: typo! President Arthur was the 21st President and the 20th Vice President of the United States. But he did have a foreign born father!
