Thanks. I'm too cheap to subscribe to Ancestry.com and didn't want to take the time to go to the public library to use their version of it. It looks like Agnew's mother is also marked as an Al(ien) even though she was born in Virginia--did she take her husband's citizenship by marrying a foreigner?

The problem with insisting now on the original rule that both parents must be citizens at the person's birth is that there have been exceptions which passed unchallenged at the time (Chester Arthur for VP and for President, Agnew for VP). The public seems to think that anyone born in the US is a "natural born citizen" so it's going to be hard for a few constitutional experts to set them straight.
