Some people may attempt to claim that being a a child of two U.S. citizens confers U.S. citizenship upon the child and natural born citizenship as well. The problem with such a claim is the allegiance owed by the child at birth to the foreign sovereign of the state in which the child is born, if any.

I surely don't believe that. Nor do I make any such claim.

What I DO understand to be true is that a child of two U.S. citizens, born in the United States, is a natural born citizen without question. This is the understanding of the founders, and it is the only definition established as Supreme Court precedent.

Prior citizenship status of George Romney or any predecessor Romneys notwithstanding, if George Romney and his wife were US citizens at the time of Mitt's birth in the United States, then whether you like it or not, MItt is an NBC.

Agreed. Mittens should therefore have no qualms with presenting documentation to the court to prove that he meets the constitutional requirements for the job he doesn’t deserve.
