Technically yes. The first 9 presidents were born on British soil; when the US was 13 colonies. Article II of the Constitution established an exception for these men so they were legally elected. John Tyler, born 1790, was the first president born "in the US." Many cite Martin Van Buren as the first, but he was born in 1782 and the Revolution did not end until 1783.
