Mitt Romney was born in Detroit and his mother Lenore was born in Logan, Utah. His father George was born a U.S. Citizen in Colonia Dublán, Galeana, Chihuahua, Mexico in 1907. George’s parents were both born in Utah and were U.S. Citizen’s on a Mormon mission in Chihuahua at the time of his birth.

The parents of his grandmother Anna Amelia (Pratt) Romney both died in Chihuahua. Her father was born in Iowa and her mother was a German immigrant.

‘His father George was born a U.S. Citizen in Colonia Dublán, Galeana, Chihuahua, Mexico in 1907’
That his father was born a US citizen is debatable at best.
He was born under Mexican jurisdiction. He is a Mexican as far as Mexico is concerend. Actually as far as USA is concerned he can be a Mexican.
Probably the US and Mexican laws on citizenship at that time would determine his citizenship.
In the absence of any Mexican or USA laws on citizenship at work back then, had George gone through naturalization to be a US citizen prior to Mitt’s birth, then definitely George would have been a US citizen at time of Mitt’s birth.
So there is doubt about George Romney’s US citizenship at time of Mitt’s birth.
With soetor/obama, it is clear cut case - o was born to a Brit citizen father, birth place unkonwn.
soeotor/obama is NOT an article 2 nbc and is NOT elig to be the pres of USA.
