Was there any foreign born US president?

It would

appear that there have been no foreign born U.S. presidents. While

the Constitution considers foreign born peoples living in the U.S.

at the time of ratification to be eligible none were elected.

Just as a

minor addendum for those interested, in United States presidential

election of 1789 candidate Edward Telfair was foreign born. Also in

the United States presidential election of 1796 candidates James

IreDELL, and Samuel Johnston were both foreign born.

There may

be some others contenders as well but unfortunately there is

surprisingly little information immediately available about early

presidential candidates
