I searched www.opencrs.com and found no trace of the November 1967 CRS opinion.

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.

Why do you think the powers that be chose Romney for us just like they did McCain only it backfired with MCCain; well sort of.

“George could have become a US citizen on reaching age of majority and executing naturalization procedures.”
IIRC, by returning to the US at age 7 naturalization was not required for him to reclaim US citizenship.

Interesting info on Romney and NBC status.
So Romney’s grandfather renounced his US citizenship when he fled to Mexico? So Romney’s grandfather was a Mexican citizen when George Romney was born, is that what you are saying?
That is quite fascinating.

release of Willards BC!
Fantastic timing, which lefties at Reuters are spinning as exposing for the first time proof of the ineligibility of Willards father, rather than clearing the decks for a forensic comparison of Willards BC vs. Barrys BC.

The rules in effect when George was born did not make him a US citizen. It gave him dual citizenship till age of majority, at which time he could apply for US citizenship. Otherwise he was a Mexican citizen.
Really, then I'm sure that you can show us a copy.
There is also the issue of his father renouncing his US citizenship when he fled to Mexico to avoid prosecution in the US for polygamy.
That's interesting, since his father wasn't a polygamist.

So angry I got in a hurry.
George Romney born in Mexico needs to be naturalized before Mitts birth to make Mitt a NBC. If George was not a US citizen before Mitt’s birth then Mitt is not qualified.

If as stated above (I have no idea of the facts personally) George Romney’s father rencounced his US citizendhip when he fled to Mexico, and then George was therefore born in MX to a father who was not a US citizen, his status seems quite dubious.

"I hereby CERTIFY that the above is a true and correct representation of the birth FACTS on file with the Division for Vital Records, Michigan Department of Community Health."
Funny, I didn't see anything on there about it being an "abstract."
As to the "VoidVoidVoidVoid" markings up the right and left side of the document, others here can correct me if wrong, but I suspect that those markings only show up on a photocopy of the document, resulting from watermark protection of some kind to prevent unofficial duplicates (Xerox copies) from being used in lieu of the original, for official purposes.
Thanks, RS, and thanks BD for the Ping.

George Romney's father Gaskell was born in Utah in 1871, lived in Colonia Dublán from around 1890 until about 1910, and died in Salt Lake City in 1955. He was not a polygamist. His wife Anna died in 1926 in Salt Lake City and he married her younger sister Amy in 1927 in Salt Lake City.
