Back in the days of his birth the U.S/Canadian border was highly porous lol... heck there might be even more Canadian born Presidents
According to what I have read about Arthur, this "born in Canada" thing was something cooked up by his detractors, just like with Obama! There is little doubt he was born in the US.
The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.
The graphic above demonstrates the distinction between Ronald Reagan, a "natural born" citizen and Barack Obama, a "native-born" citizen."
Little doubt by whom? Anyway I could care less either way but from what i've looked at they have poor records back then and zero proof of birth. Arthur had extensive family roots on both sides of a very porous border. The possiblity is there!
Obama has a much stronger claim to being American than Arthur did!

"Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are "natural born Citizens" for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents."
all they did was state that cruz was born in canada then claim that makes him ineligible. i've already posted the US state departments thoughts on the matter and they contradict fox.
