I already have. So provide the correction, instead of just mouthing off.
I already have. Do you mean trickster Chester Arthur, who so happened to nominate Justice Gray, author of the US v. Ark opinion? Let me offer some background to those who aren't familiar ... as the details of his father who became a US Citizen in 1843 and Chester Arthur's birth in 1829 are VERY important.
Chester Arthur, son of a British subject, assumed the Presidency after taking the oath of office twice, like Obama. Just one month into his presidency, on Oct 19, 1881, he issued an executive order "to celebrate the Yorktown Centennial":
It is hereby ordered, That at the close of the ceremonies commemorative of the valor and success of our forefathers in their patriotic struggle for independence the British flag shall be saluted by the forces of the Army and Navy of the United States now at Yorktown. The Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy will give orders accordingly.Arthur kept many personal secrets, too. One well-kept secret he had known since 1882 was that he was suffering from Bright's disease, a fatal kidney disorder. This contributed to Arthur not winning his party's nomination in 1884, becoming the last incumbent President to submit his name for renomination and fail to obtain it. About 18 months after Arthur's presidency ended in March 1885, he fell very ill on Oct. 1, 1886. On Nov. 16, by his order, nearly all of President Arthur's papers, personal and official, were burned. The next morning he suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage and never regained consciousness. He died the next day. It is believed that he destroyed incriminating personal paperwork to conceal his lies regarding his birth covered up during his campaign and presidency ... (some have speculated that Obama may have done the same in the days before Election Day 2008, when his grandmother Toots died in Hawaii).
However, Chester Arthur had assistance from the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper in 1880 acting as the FactCheck.org of its day. An article interviewing Chester Arthur about Hinmans accusations (BELOW) was published on August 13, 1880, barely two months before Election Day. In that article, Chester Arthur defended his birthplace (as Obama and his willing accomplices do today). Similar to Obama, Chester Arthurs father William was a British subject, fleeing British-ruled Ireland for Canada then to the US, NOT naturalizing as a US Citizen until 1843. This would have made Chester Arthur, born in 1829, a British subject at birth even though he was born in Vermont. This was not commonly known until somewhat recently.
