James K. Polk was born in North Carolina in 1795 and was the 11th elected President.
The author states he was the first natural born citizen elected President.
Can any one locate this book? Google books does not allow full access.
Perhaps the author gives an explanation.

One of the Koolaid drinkers already showed up. The troll, NS. One of Politijab’s hero’s. However they do think he will eventually be suspended here. Guess he’s not subtle enough.

The first Natural born citizen President was Martin Van Buren 8th President of the U.S. Both of his parents became citizens when we became a nation. Hence he was a natural born citizen per Article 2. The first President to be born to Americans citizens “ born after” our nation was formed ( and Natural born citizens themselves) would be Polk our 11th President. hope this clears up your question?

Polk had two US citizen parents. Obama does not. The Constitution is clear. Obama was born in the United States so he is a natural born citizen. Naturalized citizens are those born outside the United States but later receive legal citizenship.

It is possible the author means..Polk was the first President born to US citizen parents after the ratification.
The inferrence I drew from the question was that an Obama born in Kenya would somehow equate to the first 10 presidents in not being born in the "United States". I wanted to emphasize that was not the only qualification in the Constitution.

The author stated Polk is the first Natural Born Citizen elected President.
His parents were born in North Carolina.
Natural Born Citizen: Born to parents who were born in the US.
To: mojitojoe
If Obama was born in Kenya, he is not a Natural Born citizen of the United States. If he was born in Hawaii, he is a Natural Born Citizen.

he first Natural born citizen President was Martin Van Buren 8th President of the U.S. Van Buren was born in 1782 so he was qualified to be president for the same reason Washington and Jefferson and Jackson were - citizen of the U.S. at the time the Constitution was ratified.
