I might add as an afterthought regarding George Romney, is that had he actually been within reach of the GOP nomination for 1968 that he may have been challenged on his own Constitutional qualifications for the Presidency.

What is needed are the precise details for his birth, whether or not he was born in surroundings that could be defined as "U.S. soil" even if outside of the CONUS.

And a PS:

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution, states “No person except a natural born citizen … shall be eligible to the office of president” which effectively prohibits people born in foreign countries from serving as President.
