Well, it will be interesting how the media responds to this.

On one hand, they can't respond to it without looking like a bunch of hypocrites, considering they have carried so much water for Obama for so long.

OTOH, when has that ever stopped them?

[marstegreg]

This is precisely why they are pushing for Romney. He can’t criticize Obama on the same issues he himself is guilty of (citizenship, healthcare, cap and trade, etc)they are the same in too many ways for my liking.

[COBOL2Java]

Axelrod’s showing his hand a little prematurely, don’t you think?

What’s the history on the challenge of George Romney’s eligibility to run for president. Was it ever an issue?

The furriners are fighting over the scraps of America that are left.

[LucianOfSamasota]

Vet them all!!!

If there’s a problem, we’ll just have to run LEGAL candidates for a change!

[Brilliant]

Better to have this decided now. But I suspect that the guys who filed it figured that Chicago would be the right place because a Chicago court would be reluctant to find that Romney is not a natural born citizen. If he’s not, then that certainly doesn’t bode well for Obama’s eligibility.

1st & biggest problem this person has is they are quoting the WRONG law. The Mexican law at the time George Romney was born(1907 NOT 1940) stated that Mexican ‘born’ citizens were ONLY those who were ‘born’ to Mexican citizens aka Vattel law of nations definition applied when George Romney was born. So unless Mitt's grandfather renounced his US citizenship and became a Mexican citizen prior to little Georgey’s birth, George Romney NEVER attained to the status as a Mexican citizen. Thus Mitt is not eligible for president in Mexico, but he IS in the US.

So you are applauding this because it shins light on the same issue pertaining to Obama, parentage. I am applauding this because it kill two birds with one stone....(let us pray)

[Nonstatist]

All of the Mormons that settled in Mexico maintained their US citizenship. Mitt's father was born in Mexico, but to two US citizens..

Your post is the typical waste of bandwidth. Surely you can find something else about this guy thats not legitimate..

[mvpel]

"By virtue of this law, in order for George Romney to have become a U.S. citizen he would have to be naturalized".

This is not necessarily true, and if this reflects the caliber of their research, this case is going nowhere and poses a risk of tainting the Obama question too.

Both of George Romney's parents were US citizens, born in Utah. Thus Mitt Romney got his US citizenship from them at birth, and would have regardless of where in the world he was born, and had no need of US naturalization, any more than John McCain did.

Even the First Congress asserted that children born abroad to US Citizen parents are "natural born."

I can see most of the news channels reporting this story. Faux News will at first ignore it. If it gets any traction they will vellify it and call anyone that says it has merit, an anti-American Mitt Romney hater.

I never realized how liberal Faux News was, but their pimping for pro-abort, pro-homo marriage, anti-second amendment Willard The Liberal has really opened my eyes. I no longer watch their news channel. To me they are exactly like CNN, but much more like MSNBC. All these channels promote the liberal agenda.

Watch CSpan if youw want independent reporting and thought. You will not get it with Faux and the other liberal news channels. Rupert Murdoc, the billionare owner of Faux News, is a longtime democratic party supporter.

[Revel]

Anyone ever wonder how we have so many non-eligible or questionably eligible people running for president of the united states. I mean it should be a relatively rare thing, but it is happening all the time. It kind of makes me wonder.

[humblegunner]

Did you know that your personal n00bie musings about eligibility do not constitute “News”.. as you have claimed?

[longtermmemmory]

not this vatel manure again.

besides dual citizenship has been allowed and enchanced by Reagan.

this case is DOA.

[Clintonfatigued]

I hope that Illinois Freepers keep us up on this story.

[newzjunkey]

. For some that do not know, according to Mexican law at the time when Mitts dad George was born in Chihuahua, he became a Mexican citizen.

You joined FR just to post this crap?

Mexican law in place at the time of George Romney's birth had been tailored to prohibit the children of foreign nationals from attaining Mexican citizenship at the time of birth because of the American Mormon settlers. This is very well trodden ground even here at FR.

For a moment, let's accept the "Birther" definition of "natural born" and apply it to Mitt Romney. George Romney's parents were always U.S. citizens, nothing else, thus George Romney was always a U.S. citizen by birth. Since Mitt's parents were always and only citizens and he was born inside the United States, even by "Birther" theory, Mitt Romney is a "natural born" citizen.

This ridiculous "challenge" to Mitt's eligibility should be loudly and forcefully opposed. It is factually unsupportable.

[Doc Savage]

Look, can we all just face the TRUTH, the very very unpleasant TRUTH staring us in the face for lo these past long months..............we're doomed! Our 'candidates' and I use the word so so very loosely, are losers, one and all. A communist punk who has destroyed our economy and economic future, humiliated us before the world at large, is a fraud, is a criminal who has NOT only failed to uphold the Constitution, but has proudly defiled it, and we couldn't find a single decent candidate to defeat this flaming homo POS!

We are doomed! So stop with the lawsuits and the bickering. It was over before it started. The trick NOW is how are we going to remove this turd smear after Jan 22, 2013? Got any bright ideas boys!?

[Political Junkie Too]

As long as Romney's parents were US citizens at the time of his birth, he's good to go.

It doesn't matter if his parents had dual citizenship as long as one of them was US citizenship. Romney was born in the USA of two US citizens, so Romney is a NBC.
