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).

So, isn’t the difference that John McCain was born in Panama on a U.S. government facility. This would be soveriegn U.S. territory.

I just wish the Supreme court would clarify the natural born citizen clause once and for all.
