You might have a closer look at the parentage of America’s past presidents. If what you suggest is correct, there’s been a whole lot of violating going on.

Not a whole lot.

The only one I know of that had this problem was Chester Arthur, who was sworn in after Garfield was assassinated in October, 1829. His dad was an Irish citizen at the time of his birth. No, he shouldn't have been sworn in.

Really?

Care to show me ONE/ANY/A SINGLE president, born after the Constitution was ratified, who at the time of their birth had a parent who was not a US citizen?

And forget about Chester A. Author, he claimed, and provided evidence that his father was naturalized before his birth - even destroyed his families historical records to make ssure noone could prove otherwise.

You CAN'T - because EVERY other US president besides Obama was born of TWO US citizen parents.

There are only TWO examples of Violators. Chester A Arthur and Barack Obama.

All other Presidents were born to two American Parents, or were permitted under the grandfather clause in article II.

Chester Arthur got away with it because of deceit. Obama has gotten away with it so far because of ignorance. You need to stop spreading crap.
