William Henry Harrison, the ninth U. S. President, had the best chance of all. Why? He was born in Virginia and then lived in Ohio.
Here is a map of the United States. You will see that Virginia and Ohio are not too far away from each other. New York, Massachusetts, and California are worth noting(注意), too. They each have sent at least three of their native sons to the White House.
