Teddy Roosevelt will share a place in history with Donald Trump. Both native New Yorkers with strong ties to the city.
Could be a Jeoprady question someday. 
Seven Presidents are from New York state. But only 2 from the city.
It’s a bit surprising such a influential city hasn’t produced more Presidents.
The peaceful transition of power is always exciting. I’m apprehensive about the future but looking forward to tomorrow’s inaugural celebration.
Interesting contrast.
Teddy spoke softly and carried a large stick.
Trump speaks loudly and carries a very small stick.
Have you seen both of their long-form birth certificates?
Google (and maths) tells me currently a bit over 4% of the US lives in New York City - and it was probably a lot less in less urban eras of history. So two in 45 is probably slightly over their “share”
Google and/or your calculations are incorrect.
The population of the United States is about 320 million, and there are just about 8.4 million in New York. That’s about 2.6 percent.
Only five were born in the state:
Martin Van Buren (Kinderhook, New York)
Millard Fillmore (Summerhill, New York)
Theodore Roosevelt (New York City)
Franklin D. Roosevelt (Hyde Park, New York)
Donald Trump (New York City)
Grover Cleveland was born in New Jersey, and Chester Arthur was born in Vermont.
New York has played a prominent role in the US all my life. The Big Apple looms large in America. It’s the home of the UN. It seems to get much more attention from the National news. I’d guess because they are all based there.
IIRC my history, people weren’t happy when Teddy assumed the role of the Presidency. He was seen as impulsive and ignored conventional wisdom. The VP role was meant to box him into a dead end political job. President McKinley’s assassination (6 months into his 2nd term) changed history.
Must be the NY water.
Trump’s demeanor is much the same. Imho
Chester Alan Arthur was born in Vermont (or maybe Canada?) but was a NYC politician. He had connections with Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall.
That’s interesting, because he sure isn’t.
Love it.
To the OP: Yeah, in addition considering the recent success of the musical Hamilton, and you can even throw in the losing candidate’s (newish) NYC ties, plus the losing party’s runner-up’s thick Brooklyn accent, you could say these are good times for the Big Apple’s links to national politics.
Yes, indeed, Arthur got a lot of flak about whether or not he was in fact a native-born citizen.
His birthplace, Fairfield, Vermont, is definitely in the US. In fact, it is ten or fifteen miles inside the US, but Arthur’s family was spread widely on both sides of the border. The exact location of the line of demarcation was perhaps not as clear as it is today, which, together with a healthy dose of partisanship, was enough to fuel the “birthers” of the day.
As a native and current NYC person, I ask that everyone please not judge us based on this one disgusting man-cheeto.
Interestingly, if FDR had been born in summer, he would have been ineligible to be president. His summer-born siblings wee born in the family summer home in Canada.
Born to two American citizens so, no I think he would have been.
It’s not that surprising. After all, I don’t even think most New Yorkers are native New Yorkers.
Interestingly, you are incorrect about his eligibility to be president.
From the Harvard Law Review:
Were you paying attention during the most recent election cycle, when Ted Cruz’s birth in a Canadian hospital was discussed?
Also John McCain being born in Panama, and George Romney born in Mexico.
