BTW, was there a Constitutional crisis for Chester A Arther when he was President? His father was born in Ireland. Folks had a very clear idea of the Constitution in those days since it was less that 100 years old. I think I will take their advice on the definition of Natural Born.

As a matter of fact, there was. Arthur concealed and lied about the fact that his father was not a citizen when he was born, even going so far as to have all his personal documents destroyed. The issue of his ineligibility was contentious in politics and the newspapers throughout his time as VP, then as president, and after he left office.

Funny. Whenever you folks try to clear up my thinking on things, all I can find are blog posts of blog posts by the thousands, all less than 3 years old. Can you cite me an original source, Pre Obama, where the destruction of documents and lying are expanded upon. It would be appreciated. Best to my memory of Arther, the Rats tried to smear him, but on the issue he wasn’t born here.
