his vice president was chester arthur. by the way, good luck trying to get a book about chester arthur published. if you think cleveland is tough, what you do the tester author, but the rumors of the time with that chester arthur had been born in canada. his father was an irishman. his mother was a canadian court from quebec who integrated -- emigrated to vermont. the story when when she was pregnant she went back, and had the baby there which if true would mean that chester arthur was not an american citizen because neither of his parents, you wasn't born in the u.s. we do not have the birth certificate, long or short form. they just put his name in the family bible and said he was born in vermont and that was good enough to qualify him to hold the office of vice-president and president. grover cleveland, elected four years after in 1884, always fascinated me for the plain fact that -- and this is what everybody knows, he served to nine consecutive terms. he was elected in 1884, lost in '88, and came back four years later
