Title should read HOR not HOS for House of Representatives. Had to shorten title per freeper rules
So Chester Arthur was not eligible for the Presidency. Oh well, water under the bridge I guess.
By the way, the POTUS also claims to be Christian. Did he receive ashes today and if he truly is a Christian, I would like to know the date and place of his baptism and date and place of his 1st communion and/or confirmation. Seems to me that in addition to being ineligible to serve, he is also not of the Christian faith which he professes to be. Will the real Barack Obama please stand up???
I’m not able to partake in the ashes today either due health reasons, does that make me less of a Christian also?

Not all Christian denominations practice that. Mostly Catholic, Lutheran, some Methodists. I guess you'd have to know what denomination POTUS belongs to.
If that is your attitude, why do you post here?
Donofrio gets it right, again.
He went through considerable effort to perpetrate and conceal this fraud on the American people.
Fortunately no one else has ever attempted a treasonous crime of such proportions since.
Because I believe that telling the truth is a conservative value. Chester Arthur’s Father was an Irish citizen when he was born. That’s a non-disputed fact.
This argument you have is a non-starter. It was defeated in the 1880s.
If you want to keep tilting at windmills, go right ahead, but I will point out your folly when you do so. If you don’t like it, ask Jim to remove me from his house.
That’s his right, not yours.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement by the President on Ash Wednesday
Michelle and I join with millions of Christians here and across the world to mark Ash Wednesday. As we observe the season of Lent, we receive with thanksgiving this opportunity for grace and repentance, recommit ourselves to our faith, and remember our obligations to one another.
Arthur never denied that his father was Irish, he just denied the rumors that he was born in Canada.
And there is the big OBOT lie...Chester told everyone his father was a naturalized US citizen at the time of Chester's birth.
You think folks should freak out over something that happened in the 1880s?
Become indignant about it? Stomp their feet?
The word "Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies.Falsehoods told to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned in the Qur'an and Sunna, including lying under oath in testimony before a court, deceiving by making distorted statements to the media. A Muslim is even permitted to deny or denounce his faith if, in so doing, he protects or furthers the interests of Islam, so long as he remains faithful to Islam in his heart.
-- edited extract from Understanding Taqiyya ― Islamic Principle of Lying for the Sake of Allah, Islam Watch
His Father was naturalized in the 1880’s, but he wasn’t when Arthur was born.
That was known even in that day. But Arthur being born on American soil was good enough to be a Natural Born Citizen even back then.
Sorry, this argument was lost then, it will be lost now, and it is a complete waste of time. If the founders had wanted it defined the way Vattel translated Wolfe, then they clearly had the means, opportunity, and intelligence to do so.
But they left it in the parlance of English Common Law, not in the language of Vattel.
That’s the reality you have to deal with.
The issue of Arthur’s father being foreign born was obscured by the Canada issue the same way that Obama’s father citizenship is also being obscured by the ‘born in Hawaii’ issue.
It was not known that Chester Arthur was born to a foreign parent at the time.
Okok, let me go get the Johnny’s Popcorn Salt.
