“Im sure youre right in your own mind but getting an official judicial or legislative body to go along with you is proving difficult.-”
If Chesters dad was not a US Citizen at that time which itself is not a absolutely known fact then that fact wasnt known except to few.
A successful fraud sets no precedent.
Your comment got me to thinking about old Chet.
Did his face ever grace U.S. currency? Not in the past, but...
According to the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, his face WILL be on the $1 U.S. coin for 2012.

Chester Arthur hasn't had much ink spilled over him until the past year or so. Interesting that he's going to show up on U.S. currency (when he's never be there before) in a Presidential election year.
