Just as no one cares that Obama’s missing father was Kenyan... Ah, nice try, wise guy ... but it's not about Kenya either, as Kenya did not gain its independence from the UK until Dec. 12, 1963.

“Similar to Obama, Chester Arthur’s 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.”
Hogwash. Someone born in the USA is an American, with a few exceptions for diplomats, visiting military, etc.
The investigation centered on if he had been born outside of the US. I find it hard to believe it wouldn’t have occurred to an investigator that regardless of when his family moved into the US, that his father wasn’t a citizen. After all, if he had moved to the US recently enough prior to Arthur’s birth that the birthplace was in question, then the father undeniably was NOT a citizen of the US at birth.
The thing you are missing is THAT NO ONE CARED ABOUT THAT! It was his birthplace that was the issue - no one cared that his father was obviously NOT a citizen.
Just as no one cares that Obama’s missing father was Kenyan...
Mr. Rogers, I just can’t fathom a quarter century
military service member having such a shallow
concept of the beginnings of this great nation
and the concepts they embedded in our Constitution ..
for sound and vital reasons!
Please, go back to the library and read about the
Founders, their struggles, their protectiveness
for the stability of this nation going forward, and
especially their well-founded documented fears of
any hint of dual national allegiance in the Commander
In Chief.
For God’s sake, they’d suffered mightily breaking
free of the bonds of the English Empire for many,
many years. This country’s structure and sovereignty
was their most precious mission, and they paid and
sacrificed dearly to insure them for future generations,
God bless them.
International subterfuge and skullduggery from scoundrels
were not unfamiliar to them.
Does it make any logical sense at all that they would
consider even a hint of allegiance to another nation by
virtue of foreign parentage in a future POTUS after their
lifetimes ??
Your grasp of the big picture is stunning.

BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT.
Sure, if he was born in the USA, he's a US citizen, but that doesn't mean he's a natural born citizen.
