'''Vincente Fox''', sometime President of Mexico

==Vincente Fox==
Vincente Fox was born 2 Jul 1942 in Mexico City as the second of nine children, to Jose Luis Fox-Pont by his wife Mercedes Quesada-Etxaide. (Children in Mexico often or typically take both parents names as a double surname which I've here hyphenated for clarity only.)

Jose Luis Fox-Pont was son of Joseph "Jose" L Fox and Elena Pont, both citizens of the United States, as specified on the 1912 birth certificate of Vincente's father when he was born in Irapuato.
