Which U.S. President had a foreign-born wife?

I get to ask one.

Other than being president, and associated qualifications, and male, what do Dwight Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, and Barack Obama have in common?

Hint:  They have the same thing in common with me.

[Joe Republic]

Their mothers were from Kansas.  (Though Ike's mother was born in VA, she grew up in KS.)

[J. J.]

Their mothers were from Kansas.  (Though Ike's mother was born in VA, she grew up in KS.)

No, and I added Ford and myself to the mix.  My mother was born in PA.

[J. J.]

Their mothers were from Kansas.  (Though Ike's mother was born in VA, she grew up in KS.)

I'll add that they do not have this in common with George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush,  Jimmy Carter, John Kennedy, or Ronald Reagan.

I'll add that by looking specifically, the three presidents would not include Bill Clinton or Lyndon Johnson, but more generally, it would. 

Likewise, Richard Nixon would not be on the specifically, but would be generally.

[J. J.]

Another clue:  For Eisenhower, it should be obvious.

Which U.S. Presidents have re-married either after a divorce or the death of a wife?

[Bo]

Which U.S. Presidents have re-married either after a divorce or the death of a wife?

[J. J.]

Benjamin Harrison and Reagan did. I'm not sure about the rest.

Wilson, of course.

I don't think either Harrison did.

[J. J.]

Have I confounded you all with my question.

I'll ask again:

Other than being president, and associated qualifications, and male, what do Dwight Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, and Barack Obama have in common?

Hint 1:  They have the same thing in common with me.

Hint 2:  They do not have any part of common characteristic in common with George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush,  Jimmy Carter, John Kennedy, or Ronald Reagan.

Hint 3:  They do have part of common characteristic in common Bill Clinton or Lyndon Johnson.  They do have a different part of common characteristic in common with Richard Nixon, but it is a different part.

Hint 4:  On the surface Eisenhower makes the most sense.  Ronald Reagan and John Kennedy not sharing this characteristic makes the most sense.
