Romney to Trump: Obama Doesn’t Need a Birth Certificate
Fox News ^ | April 12, 2011 | Daniel Freedman

According to Romney family lawyers it doesn't matter if Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, Kenya, or even Paris: Because his mother was an American (and not even Donald Trump questions that), he is eligible to be President.

The Romney lawyers investigated this question in the 1960s, when Mitt Romney's father, Governor George Romney of Michigan, was vying for the Republican presidential nomination. George Romney had been born in a Mormon colony in Chihuahua, Mexico, as his grandfather moved there with his wives in the 1880s after polygamy was outlawed in the U.S.

While some opponents nicknamed him "Chihuahua George," his suitability for the highest office because of his birth was never seriously challenged. The reason his campaign faltered was because of his shift in position on the Vietnam War:

I’m not sure Romney knows who his own mother was since there were so many women spittin’ out babies down in Mexico.

And I would like to know if all those lawyers from 1960 are still alive.

If Mitten’s father isn’t a natural born American; how can Mittens?

We have the winning answer. Thus Mitt's defense of Obama's eligibility.

FLASHBACK: There were congressional hearings were held to determine whether Sen. John McCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a “natural born citizen,”

Someone needs to send Trump info on Romney. And by the way, I remember Romney’s daddy running. But I don’t remember anything about his elegibility being challenged.

If the GOP nominates another rino they’re guaranteed to lose.

Romney, having hidden under several skirts for months
as America burned alive, now suddenly "comes out" to defend
...... Obama [and himself, the Kenyan and Mexican
twins, out to destroy the US Constitution].

It is possible he is right. Doesn’t matter. It hasn’t been clarified by congress or the supreme court. Therefore what romney’s lawyers say doesn’t mean squat. What any responsible candidate should be saying is that the very fact there is a question on obama’s legitimacy is an outrage. There should be zero question about it as it should have already been settled. The fact we have stricter criteria for children playing baseball than people becoming president is absurd. Its not about obama. It is about making sure the constitution is followed. And many just don’t even care to get a definitive ruling which irks the heck out of me. As far as obama is concerned - I don’t care - whatever it is it is. I just want the constitution followed.

Mitten, the “slick used car salesman” taking on Donald Trump who took Greta to the wood-shed a couple days ago, requires more pop-corn, LOL

What kind of idiot lawyers does Romney have representing him? I direct them to this website:
http://shusterman.com/uscitizenshipchart1.html

“If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.”
