> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > not Don Corleone > not Carlton the Doorman > dunno, is this related to EH’s Q about the modest grave? You got Vito Corleone and Carlton the Doorman right. No- this is a different President. Calvin Coolidge in buried in Plymouth Notch. Chester Alan Arthur was born in Vermont- but long before the “birthers,” there were people who argued that Arthur was really Canadian, and ineligible to be PResident. So, I get ONE direct question: DQ: Were you white/Caucasian? ---
