Chester Arthur was not eligible, because his father was British and did not naturalize as a U.S. citizen until long after the birth of Chester Arthur

Citizenship descends through the mother. The Jews figured that a few thousand years ago.

Chester Arthur was not elected President, he became President upon the assassination of the elected President.

“Citizenship descends through the mother. The Jews figured that a few thousand years ago.”

Wrong. His mother, Malvina Stone, lost her U.S. citizenship when she married William Arthur in Quebec, Canada. They were at that point British subjects in Canada who moved to Vermont, where Chester Arthur was born with automatic naturalization at birth as a U.S. citizen due to the 14 Amendment provision for birth in the United States and the U.S. Naturalization Act and as a British national born abroad with two British parents under a British naturalization act. Because neither of his parents were a U.S. citizen when he was born, he did not qualify as a natural born citizen of the United States.
