I was reading about Republican (1881-1885) President Chester Alan Arthur. There were claims, which he denied, that he was born in Canada. Since his mom was an American
citizen, people argued back then that it did not matter whether he was born in Canada or not. They were convinced that he was eligible to become POTUS. His father was also
a preacher. I just found that interesting.

OK, trick question: Who was the first President who WAS born in the USA? Hint; it wasn’t Washington by a long shot.

I thought we settled this with George Romney and his jack Mormon parents in Mexico. But by all means have fun, Lord knows the GOP needs help looking like a jackass Party.
