Notes and references
^ All Massachusetts-born Presidents have been born in Norfolk County , but counties in Massachusetts are largely ceremonial and hold little meaning in that state.
^ John Adams Birthplace was then part of Braintree .
^ Note: Bill Clinton's home in his first four years is sometimes called the Bill Clinton Birthplace , although the name is misleading.

^ Born in the Waxhaw region on the North Carolina /South Carolina border. Exactly on which side of the border Jackson was born is in dispute. Jackson himself considered South Carolina as his birth state, and that is how it is most frequently listed. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/06/AR2011030603406.html?wprss=rss_print/asection
^ There are some claims that Arthur was in fact born in Canada, not far from his official Vermont birthplace. His father was an Irish-born Canadian who was not naturalized as a U.S. citizen until some years after Arthur's birth. See here for details.
^ The modern county in which Lincoln's birthplace lies, LaRue County , was not created until 1843.
^ The Official Library of Congress Naturalization Record for William Arthur (father of Chester Arthur) states that William Arthur (who was born in Ireland and later emigrated to Canada) was not naturalized until 14 years after the birth of Chester Arthur. His father's British subjecthood, governed by English common law, was conferred via jus sanguinis ; cf. William Blackstone , Commentaries on the Laws of England I.10 ("Of People, Whether Aliens, Denizens or Natives" ), Oxford 1765-1769: […] all children, born out of the king’s ligeance, whose fathers were natural-born subjects, are now natural-born subjects themselves, to all intents and purposes, without any exception; […] .
^ According to the British Nationality Act 1948 , Obama was from birth a Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent (jus sanguinis) through his father, a native of Kenya , which was then a British colony. This status reverted to Kenyan citizenship upon Kenya's independence in 1963, and Obama lost his Kenyan citizenship upon turning 23 in 1984 because the Kenyan Constitution prohibits dual citizenship for adults. Does Barack Obama have Kenyan citizenship? See also: Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories
