Probably most people in the US in 1880 were oblivious to any legal issues about Chester Arthur's eligibility, and I don't recall anyone in 1968 saying Agnew wasn't eligible. That it wasn't an issue doesn't mean the public approved--they didn't weigh in.

I wish Obama wasn't President and I'm ready to rank him as the worst President in history, but the idea that he could be removed from office because some legal experts show that he doesn't meet the 1787 meaning of "natural born citizen" is beyond the realm of possibility. The public thinks he's a natural born citizen by virtue of being born in Hawaii (whether or not that's really where he was born), and he definitely got a majority of the electoral votes in 2008. He'd have to do something much worse than the Watergate coverup to be impeached and removed. Michael Steele is bent on ensuring the Democrats keep control of Congress so he won't have to worry about a Republican majority next year. We are stuck with him.
