I'm trying to Compile an all-inclusive Listing of ALL of our U.S. Presidents that had or have PARENTS that are not or were not U.S. Citizens by ANY definition of the Term "U.S. Citizen".

I'm not a very good Historian so I immediately thought I would start the list with George Washington. But I checked and found his parents were both born in or around Virgina, of U.S. Natives, second generation.

So Please contribute if you know of others. I'll throw out This One for Starters:

Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro - Father= Kenyan

from wiki:

Chester Arthur (born of an American mother and Irish father, purported birthplace of Canada) was sworn in as President, however his status as a "Natural born citizen" was challenged because he was born with British citizenship[22] (therefore not jus sanguinis) and it is contended, on foreign soil (therefore not jus soli). Some argue that those born abroad to U.S. citizens are not eligible to ascend to the Presidency (not jus soli), since an act of the United States Congress such as the Naturalization Act may not overrule the Constitution (see "Natural born citizen" as presidential qualification).[23] Presidential candidates George W. Romney (born in Mexico), Barry Goldwater and John McCain (born in U.S. territories), were never seriously challenged on the basis of their "natural born" citizenship, but no candidate falling under this classification has ever actually become President.

George W. Romney?

Why not?

Chester A. Arthur was born in Vermont to a US mother and a British father.

Barry Goldwater was born, to US parents, in the US Territory of Arizona a few years before it became a state.

George W. Romney is problematic, being born in a Mormon colony in Chihuahua, Mexico to US parents (who married in Mexico and stayed there after his birth until forced back to the US by Mexican instability). But his natural born citizenship was not disputed in the 1968 campaign.

Similarly, John McCain born, to US parents, in the Panama Canal Zone, not then US territory, but a Senate Resolution in 2008 declared him a natural born US citizen.

Barack Obama, born in Hawaii to an American mother and Kenya (British colony) father; a 2009 House of Representatives resolution repeated that he was born in Hawaii.
