Chester A. Arthur's parents were William Arthur and Malvina Stone. William was born in Ireland, but Malvina was born in Berkshire, Vermont. Thus. regardless of where Chester was born, he was born to a citizen of the United States, making him a citizen at birth. "This appears upon the tombstone over the grave of the ex-President's mother: "Malvina Stone, wife of William Arthur. Born at Berkshire, Vt., April 29, 1802. Died at Newtonville, Jan 29, 1869, aged 67 years." - http://python.net/crew/manus/Presidents/caa/caaobit.htmlNow about Andrew Jackson...
