And in his appended letters he revealed through a query he made to the State Department that he knew about Arthur's father's citizenship status but did not consider it a problem.
He was smarter than most modern birthers, even if no less sleezy a partisan hack.
There is no such thing as a "14th Amendment Citizen."
Only to racists. The only people to use '14th Amendment Citizens' are neo-nazi's and White Supremacists who continue to deny that African Americans / blacks are citizens.
Subsequent presidents with one or more parents born elsewhere:
#15- Buchanan -Ireland
#21 Arthur- Ireland
#28 Wilson- England
#31 Hoover- Canada
Buchanan's father naturalized as a U.S. citizen before James was born.
Arthurs father naturalized when Chester was 14. Chester was ineligible and got away with it.
Wilson's mother obtained U.S. citizenship by marrying a American citizen before Woodrow was born. It was called derivative marriage through the ' Act of February 10, 1855'. Therefore, Woodrow Wilson was born a natural born Citizen due to the fact that both his parents were U.S. Citizens.
Hoover's mother obtained U.S. citizenship by marrying a American citizen before Herbert was born. It was called derivative marriage through the ' Act of February 10, 1855'. Therefore, Herbert Hoover was born a natural born Citizen due to the fact that both his parents were U.S. Citizens.
The Act of February 10, 1855 enabled a foreign woman to naturalize as a U.S. Citizen by getting married to a U.S. Citizen husband. It was called 'Derivative Marriage'.
Arthurs father naturalized when Chester was 14. Chester was ineligible and got away with it.p
sorry, but it's your ilk, Steve, that says that the parents must be citizens before the child is born. So you just contradicted every birther claim with this one.

But she never formally renounced her citizenship to her home country. Since she was born in England, which follows Jus soli and Jus Sanguinis, she would have to have formally renounced her citizenship. She never lost her British citizenship. So, by marriage, she had dual citizenship. Since she didn't lose her British citizenship, her child, Woodrow Wilson, was born with dual citizenship.
According to birthers, you cannot have dual citizenship and be a natural born citizen.

Respected constitutional scholar and lawyer Herb Titus sits down to explain what a true Constitutional Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizen is. Herb Titus credentials are impeccable when it comes to the matter of Constitutional Law and our founders original intent, especially on the subject of the presidency. Titus gives a clear understandable meaning of why the founders wanted to have a natural born Citizen ONLY for the presidential requirement to hold the executive office of the United States. It is clear after listening to Herb Titus in the two part video that you will understand why Bobby Jindal, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Barack Obama are not constitutionally eligible to hold the office of the presidency.
