Mitt Romney’s Father Was A Mexican Citizen When Mitt Was Born.

You are perfectly correct in your fears. George Romney was born in Mexico and therefore he was a Mexican citizen. Mitt was born within the jurisdiction of U.S. as required, but his father was not a U.S. citizen at the time of Mitts birth, which means Mitt Romney is NOT eligible for president. For this reason, Rubio is not eligible either.

I don’t know why this is so difficult to understand.

Do your homework folks!!!!

No. Absolutely NOT! He may have been considered a citizen under the laws of MEXICO, but the United States does not RECOGNIZE the laws of other nations as applied to THEIR Citizens. Mexican law is completely irrelevant. He was born to two American Citizens, and is therefore an American Citizen. (According to American Law!) We don't give a flip what Mexican law has to say about it.

Mitt was born within the jurisdiction of U.S. as required, but his father was not a U.S. citizen at the time of Mitts birth, which means Mitt Romney is NOT eligible for president. For this reason, Rubio is not eligible either.

Yes, his Father WAS a U.S. Citizen. Your theory is wrong because you overlook the fact that US Citizenship is not defined by Mexican law. It is defined by OUR law, and OUR law says he was a citizen. With Rubio, you might have an argument, but with Mitt? Not at all.

What really annoys me is the fact that you've got *ME* defending Mitt Romney. I HATE Mitt Romney. I don't want to defend him, but by saying he isn't a "natural born citizen" you are just churning the waters that the rest of us are trying to clarify. It distracts from the fact that Obama is not a Natural born citizen, and makes those of us trying to explain the issue, look stupid because we are getting lumped into the group questioning Romney's citizenship.

Find other reasons to hate Mitt Romney (Lord knows there are plenty) but quit trying to steal the thunder from the Obama eligibility issue.
