You are wrong.

Neither Obama NOR Romney is eligible.

If the Mexican government never claimed the child of US citizens born on their soil as one of their own, then what nation does that child exclusively belong to? Please answer with facts, not emotions.

Was George Romney a citizen of the United States, by whatever means, at the time of Mitt Romney's birth? If he was, there is no issue in that regard, regardless of where George Romney was born. Was Mitt Romney's mother a citizen of the United States at the time of Mitt Romney's birth as well? And, lastly, was Mitt Romney born in the United States?

If both his parents were citizens at the time of his birth and he was born in the United States, there is no doubt as to his eligibility because he was and is a natural born citizen. If there is question as to citizenship of either parent or he was born outside the sole jurisdiction of the US, then there is doubt. See Minor v. Happersett.

I believe Romney is eligible.

Here is why.

George Romney, though being born a dual citizen was still an American because of his parents. George Romney’s son would have been born to an American father and mother. This makes Mitt a Natural Born Citizen.

Take a look of Obama, he was born British because of his father. Obama Jr. daughters were born in the US to two parents who were Americans (assuming OholyO was born in Hawaii) BUT... because of British law, his daughters could APPLY for British Citizenship and get it due to their grandfather’s full British heritage, and that of their own father. But here is the trigger, the crux.. they would have to apply for it, it isn’t automatic like their father’s citizenship - That of OholyO.

This describes Mitt Romney, Mexican Citizenship wasn’t passed on to him automatically, he would have to apply for it. Just like I would have to apply for Mexican Citizenship, but he would have a stronger case of getting it because his father was born in Mexico.

Citizenship issues get real mixed up real fast, and this is why the term “Natural Born Citizenship” was noted diplomatically. There had to be a baseline to start from.
