Claim to that he was last British Subject President
I have corrected the previous statement that stated that President Harrison was the last born a British Subject, to "last not born an American Citizen". Barack Obama is now the undisputed last President who at Birth was a British Subject, due to his father's status as British Subject from Kenya (then a British Colony).
It is not inconceivable that there may have been other Presidents due to family connections who may have been classified as British Subjects under UK or Canadian law, sorry too lazy to check! Indeed later US presidents born to fathers who were alive pre 1783, in what was then, (in US constitutional theory the USA), but in British Law were still British Colonies. They would be classified as British Subjects, and so their children would almost certainly be British Subjects too. President Buchanan was almost certainly a British Subject at Birth due to his father appearing to have been born in Ireland. Also Andrew Johnson was very likely to be a British Subject, since his own father was born pre 1783, although it does depend where Mr Johnson senior was born which is not clear from the Wikipedia article.
What is clear is that President Harrison was the last to be born a British Subject in connection with the the 13 Colonies that formed the United States, and was also the last President who was not a US citizen at Birth.

- No, the image is not actually a photograph of Harrison. They are an 1851 daguerrotype of his painting. His real daguerrotype is lost Wcamp9 (talk) 15:40, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
Presidency Infobox
Shouldn't the Presidency section have an infobox, like the corresponding section on Zachary Taylor's article? (Zachary Taylor#Presidency) TheLegendofGanon (talk) 23:52, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- I checked several POTUS FAs and they do not have an info box in that section. Hoppyh (talk) 00:05, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- The difference is, every other president has a separate article for their presidency, where their corresponding infobox is placed. But because of their short tenures, Harrison, Taylor, and James A. Garfield don't have separate presidency articles. Instead, links to their presidencies redirect to the appropriate section of their personal articles. Taylor has an infobox in his presidency section, but Harrison and Garfield don't. TheLegendofGanon (talk) 08:45, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- You might research the proper use of infoboxes to see if they are supposed to be used in that manner. Hoppyh (talk) 14:24, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Link error in the Indiana territorial governor section
The link to District of Louisiana is pointing to the Washington, DC article. The link should instead point here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Louisiana Jclements22701 (talk) 20:12, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- File:Yes check.svg Done I've fixed the link. TheLegendofGanon (talk) 15:59, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
