The part where he asked "Who were YOU thinking of" got me, I'll be honest.

Chester A. Arthur took the oath of office as President in his house on Lexington Ave., NYC. This building is now a Middle Eastern food bazaar. Hmmm. The plot gets deeper.
-
No one is talking about how that dudes name is Dumbville

The important thing to note was 1 of Chester a Arthur parents were American citizens cause in American law if a person was born in a foreign country but has at least one parent who is a American citizen they can still run for president or any seats of office

This man interviews the strangest people.

Historians today may consider Pres. Arthur a mediocre and the least memorable president but when he left office in 1885, journalist Alexander McClure wrote, "No man ever entered the Presidency more profoundly and widely distrusted than leave more generally respected." And even Mark Twain, who was very distrustful of politicians, wrote, "It will be hard indeed to better the administration of President Arthur."

Chester A. Arthur actually was quite a beneficial president. Doing some research on him, his policies actually were very influential, and some presidential scholars say he's probably one of the best presidents the US ever had.

I had to do a report on him in 8th grade (1999) and had no idea about any of this. Internet has really changed the world.
-
There is an older rumor that says that Chester Arthur was actually born in Ireland 🇮🇪.

I love Mo Rocca. Marvelous story teller.

If he's parents claimed American citizenship for him, then he would be a natural-born American citizen.

If Chester Arthur was born in Canada, his parents might not have known about it until much later and then he would have the same reaction as Doug Heffernan on King of Queens, "OMG! I'm Canadian!"
-
That man was a husky Canadian
-
Arthur was still eligible for the presidency because his mother was American-born.
