Was George Romney a citizen of the United States, by whatever means, at the time of Mitt Romney's birth? If he was, there is no issue in that regard, regardless of where George Romney was born. Was Mitt Romney's mother a citizen of the United States at the time of Mitt Romney's birth as well? And, lastly, was Mitt Romney born in the United States?

If both his parents were citizens at the time of his birth and he was born in the United States, there is no doubt as to his eligibility because he was and is a natural born citizen. If there is question as to citizenship of either parent or he was born outside the sole jurisdiction of the US, then there is doubt. See Minor v. Happersett.

Some like to claim that George Romney was Mexican by the mere fact of his birth on Mexican soil. This is not true. Mexico did not recognize children born to foreigners on Mexican soil as Mexican citizens. Mexican (Spanish & French) citizen law is that of the nature/nations doctrine of “jus sanguinis” and still is today. But those that detest Mitt's policies & politics like to ignore the law at the time of Mitt's dad's birth and use feudal “jus soli” statute law as an argument to keep Mitt off the ballot.

They are no better than Obama, they want to act outside & above the law purely for emotional & political purposes. Like I said, I would never back Romney let alone vote for him, but that does not give me the right to ignore the law that makes him eligible.
