Chester Arthur’s Father was an Irish citizen when he was born

And there is the big OBOT lie...Chester told everyone his father was a naturalized US citizen at the time of Chester's birth.

His Father was naturalized in the 1880’s, but he wasn’t when Arthur was born.

That was known even in that day. But Arthur being born on American soil was good enough to be a Natural Born Citizen even back then.

Sorry, this argument was lost then, it will be lost now, and it is a complete waste of time. If the founders had wanted it defined the way Vattel translated Wolfe, then they clearly had the means, opportunity, and intelligence to do so.

But they left it in the parlance of English Common Law, not in the language of Vattel.

That’s the reality you have to deal with.
