Birthers, still raging

CBS' Sunday Morning had a segment about a President who was, maybe, maybe not, born outside the United States:

\Whatever the outcome this Election Day, the question will linger: has a man been elected to the presidency without having been born in the USA? It's a question addressed now by our Mo Rocca:

The rumors persist. Was the president actually born in the US? And, if he wasn't, what does that say about President... Chester Alan Arthur? (Who did you think I was talking about?)
Our twenty-first President, Chester Alan Arthur is remembered as much for his outlandish facial hair, as he is for his outlandish facial hair. "It's really awful. I would be cutting those off in his sleep," said Heather Darch.
But when Arthur became president in 1881, the whispers surrounding him were about more than his whiskers.
Democrats claimed that Arthur, a Republican, wasn't born in Vermont as he maintained, but in Canada, which according to the Constitution made him ineligible for the Oval Office.
The charge was never proven, but even today there are those who say it's true.
Heather Darch says that Arthur was born in a modest house in the town of Bedford in French-speaking Canada, just fifteen miles north of the U.S. border, in a house that is up for sale.

"I think Americans could come up here and own a piece of Americana, very easily," she told Rocca. "I really do believe that Chester A. Arthur was America's first Canadian president!"
Just down the road in the village of Stanbridge East in Quebec, Darch and Judy Antle oversee the region's archives at the Missisquoi Historical Society.
This would be the place to come to check up on Arthur's birthplace, Antle said, "Because we have birth records, baptism records that go back to the early 1800s."
This much we know: Chester's father, William Arthur, was an itinerant minister and teacher who traveled back and forth across the very porous border. When his son, the future president, was born in 1829, Darch says, oral history and "vague references" point to Arthur's father teaching in Stanbridge East at the local school. And the schoolhouse was known as... the White House. "Ironic!" said Rocca. "Yeah, very!" laughed Darch.
What's more, the family of Chester's mother, Malvina, was living in Canada at the time of his birth. "Malvina, we know, already had children. So she would've needed someone to look after the children while she was nursing a new baby. So very likely that she went to her mother for help and assistance. So yes, it's very likely that Chester was born here."
And then there's this: Chester Alan Arthur lied about the year of his birth, until the day he died. And he refused to answer questions raised by the "birthers" of his time.
"If he was born in the States, why was it such a big cover-up?" said Antle. "Why didn't things just come out into the open? Why is it still an issue right now? And why is it still a mystery?"

Rico asks: who were you thinking of?
