“Both parents must be U.S. citizens at the time of your birth.
End of story.”
The father of Chester A. Arthur, 21st president, was not a U.S. Citizen at the time of Arthur’s birth. He didn’t become a citizen until 17 years after Arthur’s birth.
When Arthur ran for VP and later became President after Garfield’s assassination his eligibility was challenged, but not on the basis his father wasn’t a citizen when he was born but based on claims he was born outside the U.S.
Iffinegan. When are you going to get around to the part where you explain that the fact of Chet Arthur’s father lacking U.S. citizenship at Chet’s birth was not uncovered until after the 2008 election. The public was clearly deliberately kept completely ignorant of this essential fact, and was treated at the time instead to a circus high-wire act of a spectacle in which the question of the country of his birth was (duplicitously) raised and kept artificially active for decades despite there never having been any basis for it in fact or even well-founded rumor.
