OK, I read that, but I’m not seeing any examples of Arthur lying about the date of his father’s naturalization.
There’s a quote from Arthur about his dad’s age when he immigrated to the US, and how old his dad was when he was born, but nothing about when his dad was naturalized as a citizen.
You said up above “The controversy was over the date at which Arthur’s father was naturalized. Arthur lied like a rug about it, and that is a fact.”
Where in this article are the examples of that?
I’m not going to repost the entire article here. I don’t think that’s even allowed. If you can’t see what I’m talking about from this excerpt, then I can’t help you:
We’ve also uncovered many lies told by Chester Arthur to the press which kept this fact from public view when he ran for Vice President in 1880. Garfield won the election, became President in 1881, and was assassinated by a fanatical Chester Arthur supporter that same year.
How ironic that the allegations started by Arthur Hinman in his pamphlet entitled, “How A British Subject Became President”, have turned out to be true…but not for the reason Hinman suggested.
Hinman alleged that Arthur was born in Ireland or Canada as a British subject. It was bunk. It’s been definitively established that Chester Arthur was born in Vermont. But Hinman turns out to be correct anyway since Chester Arthur was a British citizen/subject by virtue of his father not having naturalized as a United States citizen until Chester Arthur was almost 14 years old.
That means Chester Arthur was a British subject at the time of his birth.
We’ve uncovered news clips exposing a thorough trail of lies, all of which served to obscure Chester Arthur’s true history of having been born as a British citizen.
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.
