If you KNOW the answer, why ask the question?
Martin Van Buren (December 5, 1782 – July 24, 1862), nicknamed Old Kinderhook, was the eighth President of the United States. He was a key organizer of the Democratic Party, a dominant figure in the Second Party System, and the first president who was not of English, Irish, or Scottish descent. He is also the only president not to have spoken English as his first language, but rather grew up speaking Dutch.
He was the first of a series of eight presidents between Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln who served one term or less. He also was one of the central figures in developing modern political organizations. As Andrew Jackson's Secretary of State and then Vice-President, he was a key figure in building the organizational structure for Jacksonian democracy, particularly in New York State. However, as a President, his administration was largely characterized by the economic hardship of his time, the Panic of 1837. Between the bloodless Aroostook War and the Caroline Affair, relations with Britain and its colonies in Canada also proved to be strained. Whether or not these are directly his fault, Van Buren was voted out of office after four years, with a close popular vote but a rout in the electoral vote. His years out of office were among the most notable of any former President, as he played a major role in the battles over slavery, ultimately leading the split in the Democratic Party that played a critical role in the election of Lincoln.

particular, it may be. luckily each U.S. President so far, alongside with the present one, replaced into born on U.S. soil. it would additionally be unlawful for a U.S. President to take the Oath of place of work and swear to uphold and shield the U.S. shape after being appointed to the place of work via 5 conservative individuals of the perfect courtroom against the will of the folk. that easily occurred early in 2001.

They were all born on what became US soil. Your question should be. Who was the first President born as a naturalized citizen of the United States?
It is apparent that this a school question and you need to do your own research
