Best Answer

The first President to be born after the US Constitution was ratified (i.e. the United States existed as a nation) was John Tyler. (11th President). The first president born after independence from Britain was declared was Martin Van Buren (8th President). The first nine presidents were all born in one of the British colonies that united to form the United States and so were British citizens at birth.

George Washington was born in Virginia which became part of the US but was a British subject when he was born because Virginia was British soil at his birth.

John Tyler was the first to be born after independence was gained by the American Revolution and the ratification of the Constitution officially established the "United States of America".
