If it has been established that George Romney was a citizen of the United States at the time of Mitt Romney’s birth and the remainder of the information you’ve supplied is accurate, then Mitt Romney is without doubt a natural born citizen and eligible to the Presidency.

If it hasn’t been established, it will need to be established and Romney’s eligibility should be regarded as doubtful until that time.

If it is not true that he was a citizen at the time of Mitt Romney’s birth, then Mitt Romney’s eligibility to the Presidency is, at best, in doubt. Resolution of that doubt likely would hinge upon the realities of citizenship at birth in both Mexico and the United States, as you’ve noted.

At worst, he is ineligible.

I don’t care for Romney at all as a potential candidate. But, I’m not going to try and depict an ineligibility where there is none. I won’t depict eligibility where there is none as well. Piyush Amrit “Bobby” Jindal is quite clearly not eligible. John McCain’s eligibility was and still is in doubt.

Funny how we’re suddenly surrounded with so many Presidential candidates with eligiblity issues, isn’t it? It’s almost as if somebody wants the Presidency hamstrung with foreign entanglements.

Because of their polygamist views, George Romney's folks were run out of the US & established a mormom compound in Mexico. During the Mexican Revolution, these polygamists again were coming under attack so they fled to back to the US and stayed in TX for a while before returning to Utah. George met Lenore while in high school in Ut. He studied missionary work in England for a while before returning to the US and working. George worked for established political elites upon his return and later became as lobbyist for the auto industry during the war using his expertise to revamp factories for the war efforts. By 1947, George had established himself as a prominent member of the Detroit society and was the director of The American Trade Association at the time of Mitt's birth. There is no doubt that at the time of Mitt's birth, George Romney was exclusively a US citizen. As to his mother, there never was any doubt.
