Get over your Mitt-is-not-eligible-to-be-president-happy-dance. Unlike the fake in the WH, both of Mitt’s parents are/were U.S. citizens and we are sure he was born in Michigan.

Mittens was born in the US, so he is a citizen. BUT, he is like Obama (in many, many ways) not proven to be a Natural Born Citizen of the US. This clause was put in the Constitution to preclude ANY mixed loyalties in any future POTUS. Mitt was born to a Mexican National, and has loyalties to Mexico as well as the US.

did i say Mitt wasn’t eligible? no. i stated the obvious.

if both parents were citizens at the time of his birth, Mitt is eligible.

if not... then he isn’t

the same basic criteria MUST be applied to any that wish to be on the ballot for POTUS or VPOTUS

there really isn’t anything to argue

unless you’re saying Mitt’s parents weren’t both US citizens at the time of his birth... and you’re feeling exposed as you support him (i honestly don’t know whether his parents were or not)

and no, just because his father was born in mexico doesn’t automatically disqualify Mitt... his father could have picked up US citizenship before Mitt was born.
