message: Since we now have tabelaric functions that allow sorting by date or place or any other parameter, we don't actually need two separate articles here. --Tone 18:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I know this is nit-picking... but Obama isn't the President yet (he is only President Elect)... Adding him now would technically go against WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. God forbid, but should something happen to him between now and inaurguation day in January, he would not qualify for this list.  Please be patient and wait.

replies: text: I've removed this nonsense which apparently was placed some time ago by those pushing nutty conspiracy theories.  As the linked article on "British Subject" clearly states "At common law, every person born within the dominions and allegiance of the British Crown (and no other) was a British subject. "  This obviously does not apply, unless one considers Hawaii within the dominion of the British Crown (in which case, one would be an idiot).  --Loonymonkey (talk) 16:05, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

text: I have read both the reference and the related article on British Subject.  The reference discusses the fact that he was eligible for Kenyan citizenship until he turned 21 (by virtue of his father's citizenship) but makes no claim that he was a British subject (which would be false as the phrase has a very specific meaning).  He was not a "British Subject" and does not in any way fit that definition (as I quoted above).  To claim otherwise without providing reliable third-party sources is a violation of WP:BLP.  --Loonymonkey (talk) 01:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

text: You're relying rather heavily on your own WP:OR in that argument.  But we can't rely on that in articlespace. In order to make the claim in this article you will need a few reliable third-party sources that state explicitly that he was a British Subject for the first two years of his life.  A synthesis of several facts that lead to that conclusion is insufficient. --Loonymonkey (talk) 21:06, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry, I don't think I understand your argument there Loonymonkey. You're saying that quoting FactCheck constitutes original research? Gabbe (talk) 22:03, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I would say Eisenhower was based in Kansas more than New York.  He was raised in Kansas from age two and his Presidential Library is located in Kansas.  Admittedly, he's a tough call because he moved around so often. -Kgwo1972 (talk) 19:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

message: In the "By State" table, George Washington is listed as being elected in 1788.  However, on the "US Presidential Election, 1789" Wikipedia page, it is explained why George Washington was elected in 1789, rather than in 1788.
This relates to my earlier comments about the incongruities of the "By State" table.

message: John Tyler is listed as the first president not born a British subject. I believe this is incorrect. Martin Van Buren was born in 1782, after the American revolution, and was the first president born an American citizen.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by D3hartm2 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

message: OK, let's go over this one more time.
*Obama was born a British subject. As the son of Barak Obama Sr, then a British Subject, Obama inherited his status as a British Subject under the The British Nationality Act of 1948. He lost this when Kenya became independent, and became a Kenyan citizen in 1963. The Kenyan constitution prevents dual citizenship in adulthood, and so at the age of 23, when Obama had failed to either renounce his US citizenship or swear an oath of allegiance to Kenya, he lost his Kenyan citizenship. 
*Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, as testified by a number of verifiable sources. This is not the place to discuss any rumours or suggestions otherwise. --Pretty Green (talk) 08:54, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The following Presidents were born British subjects, as well as American citizens, after the establishment of the United States:
* Chester A. Arthur[9] .... Chester Arthur was not even a U.S. citizen until his father naturalized when he was 14-years old.
: Is there something wrong here?  Either he was born a US citizen, or he wasn't.  This is having it both ways.  --  Jack of Oz  ... speak! ...  20:54, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you're correct, there's a contradiction there; someone more familiar with nationality law needs to have a look at it. --Pretty Green (talk) 08:44, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
