The major precedent is against you. Although Vice President and President had an Irish father (a well known fact at the time) nobody was curious enough to ask him if the father was a citizen at the time of Arthur’s birth. Why not? You have two choices: either people in 1880 were idiots compared to current Americans (yeah, right) or they didn’t think this issue had any bearing on Arthur’s eligibility.

Is the letter from John Jay to George Washington regarding the term “Natural Born Citizen” worth anything?
