Romney's dad was born in Mexico....doesn't this make Romney ineligable to be president?

I'm thinking there is an effort to marginalize the constitution's natural born citizen clause.

Several attempts to amend this law before Obozo came onto the scene. Now Rubio, Romney, Jindal are all being groomed for higher office

Is this just me?

George Romney was born in Mexico to American citizen parents. He was never a citizen of Mexico and even ran for President himself. If he was ineligible to be President, so was John McCain in 2008.

The main argument in favor of Rubio seems to be that he would win Hispanic votes, but it isn't clear that he would actually win any non-Cuban Hispanic votes, and the Cubans tend to vote Republican anyway. Romney needs to pick someone with more experience (which is also an argument against Col. West).
