How about the President who was born in Canada? Did he have to produce a birth certificate?

Oh..., I forgot to ask, “How come he was President?”

It has been debunked that Arthur was born in Canada

[JudyinCanada]

You had a president born in Canada? I didn’t know that. How can that be?

[Political Junkie Too]

You mean the Chester Arthur dispute? Has that been resolved?

How about the President who was born in Canada? Did he have to produce a birth certificate?

No. He did not need to because he never ran for President. He ran for Vice-President with James Garfield in the top slot.

Garfield was shot by Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881, he died until September 19, at which time Arthur was sworn in as president, serving until March 4, 1885.

He did not actively campaign for nomination for a second term, he just submitted his name for consideration. The rumors regarding his lack of natural born status made Arthur the last incumbent President to submit for renomination and not win it.

Do research or folks are gonna play you like a cheap fiddle.
