    One could be a annoying and insist that until John Quincy Adams no president had any non-foreign-born parents.

    But more seriously, both of Andrew Jackson’s parents were born in Northern Ireland.

    Edit: and Van Buren’s parents were Dutch.

      I know no one really thinks, my child is gonna be president one day, but it’s pretty wild to have 2 foreign parents immigrate to a country and their child be the presidential nominee.

      Quite the journey they’ve all had.
