President Chester Arthur was not a “natural born citizen”, and hid those facts until his death.

The definitive biography of Chester Arthur's life is “Gentleman Boss” by Thomas Reeves.
Since Chester Arthur burned his papers around the time of his death, this biography fills
many gaps with interviews of family members and authentic documents such as the Arthur family Bible.
From “Gentleman Boss”, page 202 and 203:
“…Hinman was hired, apparently by democrats, to explore
rumors that Arthur had been born in a foreign country, was not a
natural-born citizen of the United States, and was thus, by the
Constitution, ineligible for the vice-presidency. By mid-August,
Hinman was claiming that Arthur was born in Ireland and had
been brought to the United States by his father when he was fourteen.
Arthur denied the charge and said that his mother was
a New Englander who had never left her native country — a
statement every member of the Arthur family knew was untrue.”
Amazing how history repeats. Remember that emergency trip that Obama made in the last week of October last year,
immediately before his last living grandparent passed away in Hawaii? I'm sure before Obama’s grandmother (”Toots”)
died the day before the election, Obama had PERSONALLY rummaged through every drawer, closet and
shoebox to ensure he had EVERY scrap of paper that could tip off anyone in the future about his ancestry.
