    Which US president "may have" been born outside of The United States?

    Question #63800. Asked by danofloveland. (Mar 22 06 10:58 AM)

    None. It is one of the requirements of the U.S. Constitution that the U.S. President be born in the U.S. (See the fourth paragraph of Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.) Here's a link to the transcript of the Constitution on the National Archives website:
    http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/constitution_transcript.html

    "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;..."

    Plus, all the birthplaces of the (to date) 43 presidents are known. See this list:

    There is long-standing speculation that Chester Alan Arthur, whose official birthplace is Fairfield Vermont, was actually born across the border in Quebec.
