My errant counter-example does not make my point incorrect. If you and your spouse are both citizens and you happen to have a child during a vacation in Brazil, your child is still an American citizen.

A better example: Mitt Romney's father George (Gov of Michigan) ran against Nixon for the GOP nomination in 1968, and he was born in Chihuahua, Mexico. (Mitt's grandfather had 3 wives. They went to Mexico after Utah changed their polygamy laws.)

The child is indeed a citizen however the child is not NATIVE BORN meaning born on U.S. soil which IS the Constitutional requirement for any person seeking the Presidency.

That is the fact that you need to disprove and refute in order to be correct.

Enjoy your day.

I might add as an afterthought regarding George Romney, is that had he actually been within reach of the GOP nomination for 1968 that he may have been challenged on his own Constitutional qualifications for the Presidency.

What is needed are the precise details for his birth, whether or not he was born in surroundings that could be defined as "U.S. soil" even if outside of the CONUS.
