So why did McCain have to have a resolution drawn up by the senate stating he was born to two citizen parents? According to you, it didn’t matter where George was born because he was born to two U.S. parents regardless.

Claire McCaskill (D) brought up the resolution, and one could argue that it was to inoculate Obama from similar inquiries.

George Romney was recognized as a US Citizen from birth, and his son Willard was born in the US to two US Citizens.

Move on. Obama is NOT a US Citizen, but Mitt Romney is.

For the question of whether or not George Romney was a US citizen at birth, it doesn't matter where George Romney was born since he was born to two US citizen parents. For the question of whether he is a "natural-born" citizen, some argue that it does matter where George Romney was born. But whether George Romney was a "natural born citizen" as opposed to a "citizen" has no bearing on whether Mitt Romney is.

Mitt Romney was born in the US to two US citizens, so any suggestion that he's not a natural-born citizen is absurd on its face.
