“Therefore the fundamental rule for NBC is “exclusive allegiance to the United States” at birth.”

Not always.

“Take for example, George Romney who was born in Mexico because his refuge parents, who were mormons, were being persecuted in the US. George’s parents never changed their citizenship.”

George Romney was born in Mexico and was thus considered by Mexico to be a citizen of Mexico. Not only would George Romney be a considered a Mexican citizen, but his children would also be considered children of Mexico.

Therefore, Mexico would consider Mitt Romney to also be a citizen of Mexico.

Can another nation claim Mitt Romney to be a citizen.

Yes.

Is Mitt Romney a natural born US citizen,

Yes.

Your priorities are admittedly skewed because of personal circumstance.

But, I’ve got to say, even after all your wrongheaded prattle on this issue, I’m shocked to hear anyone on FR say that a citizen of Mexico can be President of the United States.

It’s just not so. It’s the very epitome of a foreign entanglement. Such a President would be legally bound by the laws of Mexico whenever dealing with that nation, and would be subject to arrest and imprisonment if ever setting foot in that nation after going against them in treaty or war.

Clearly untenable for any head of state.
