It is not required that a prospective candidate’s parents be born in America, only that they be American citizens at the time of said prospective candidate’s birth.

A child born in the US to citizen parents is a NBC. If Mitten's daddy was a citizen he's in the clear.

OTOH, Barry Soetoro may have been born in the US but his daddy, a Kenyan citizen, was a British subject at the time and therefore he is not a NBC.

It doesn’t matter whether his father was a citizen. If you are born in the US you are a natural born citizen, no matter who your parents are.

Well if Romney gets the nod as the GOP nominee perhaps Obama can make a challenge against him. / sarc

Romney’s dad was still a US Citizen, Mexico does not grant birthright citizenship. So Mittens was born to two citizen parents on US Soil, meets all the NBC requirements.

He is still a RINO.

It’s not where you were born, it’s who you were born from? Were they American citizens? Obama Sr was not, Obama Jr is not a Natural Born American Citizen, basta!

So far I have found this link (I haven't been able to verify) with a history of statutes on this subject including a statute passed just two months before George Romney was born which seems to indicate that he was born a citizen and did not need to be naturalized because he did not “continue to reside” in Mexico but was returned to the US as a small child:

http://www.flippertv.com/usnationality/

1855 Act of February 10, 1855. Section 1, 10 Stat. 604.

“All children heretofore born or hereafter born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, whose fathers were or may be at the time of their birth citizens thereof, are declared to be citizens of the United States; but the rights of citizenship shall not descend to children whose fathers never resided in the United States.”

1878 Section 1993, Revised Statutes of 1878. (Same general provisions as 1855 Act).

1907 Act of March 2, 1907, Section 6, 34 Stat. 1228, 1229.

“That all children born outside the limits of the United States who are citizens thereof in accordance with the provisions of section nineteen hundred and ninety-three of the Revised Statutes of the United States and who continue to reside outside the United States shall, in order to receive the protection of this Government, be required upon reaching the age of eighteen years to record at an American consulate their intention to become residents and remain citizens of the United States and shall be further required to take the oath of allegiance to the United States upon attaining their majority.”

George Romney was born in a Mormon colony in Chihuahua, Mexico, to American citizen parents which bestowed American citizenship upon him (Jus sanguinis).  Although a citizen, George Romney was never a "natural born" citizen.

When George Romney's parents fled the United States with their children because of the federal government's opposition to polygamy they did not lose their American citizenship.

Gaskell Romney, George Romney's father, was born on September, 22 1871, in St. George, Washington, Utah.  He's an American citizen by birth.

Anna Amelia Pratt Romney, George Romney's mother, was born on May 6, 1876, in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah.  She's an American citizen by birth and marriage -- remember this is pre-19th Amendment, when a woman's citizenship was derived from her husband's.

Mitt Romney's parents were both American citizens when Mitt was born in Detroit, Michigan on March 12, 1947.

One thing that ther Mormons get right is genealogy.
 
Mitt Romney was born in the USA (jus solis) of American citizen parents (Jus sanguinis) and is eligible to serve as POTUS.

Belive me, if he wasn't, you'd read it here first.

http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd520.htm

Excerpts from Devvy Kidd’s ‘WILL THERE BE A CITIZENSHIP ELIGIBILITY CHALLENGE FOR ROMNEY?

....
‘it is absolutely clear that Mitt Romney is NOT a Natural Born Citizen unless he can prove that George Romney gained citizenship from naturalization prior to Mitt’s birth in 1947. I have found no records showing this to be the case.”

‘Mexican Constitution - Chapter II

Article 30. Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by naturalization:

A. Mexicans by birth are:

I. Those born in the territory of the Republic, regardless of the nationality of their parents:

II. Those born in a foreign country of Mexican parents; of a Mexican father and a foreign mother; or of a Mexican mother and an unknown father;

Was that still his status when Mitt was born?
_________________

So those who said so definitively that George R. was born a US citizen because he was born to US citizen parents, take note! His birth in Mexico determined his citizenship at birth, i.e he was born a Mexican! Did he ever naturalize in USA?
