Regardless -
Romney has not presented any evidence that his father was a US citizen at the time of Mittens’ birth. Since it is unquestioned that Mitt’s dad was born in Mexico, the issue is at least ambiguous. If one candidate is being asked to provide proof of meeting the constitutional requirements, it seems appropriate to require it from all candidates.
Assuming he has such proof, it would HELP the Obama eligibility cases to bring this case against Mittens, if only to show that people with nothing to hide just provide the required documents when asked by the court, instead of spending millions of dollars stonewalling for years.
If he doesn’t have such proof, or refuses to present it to the court, then he doesn’t belong on the ballot either.
I have presented no evidence that MY father was a US Citizen at the time of My birth. Having grown up as an American citizen, it never occurred to me that I should need to check. How about you? If not, then why bother Romney about it? Presumably he can find proof that his parents were American Citizens, so what is the issue?
Oh, look here. Gaskell Romney (George's Father) was born in Salt Lake City. At the very least, he gets 14th Amendment citizenship, and is therefore a citizen. While Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source, i'm sure the particulars can be backed up if they need to be.
I will now therefore present to you that the above Wikipedia entry constitutes sufficient proof that George Romney's father was an American Citizen, which therefore Makes George Romney an American Citizen. Your worries are over.

We are not arguing whether George Romney is a "natural born citizen." We are arguing whether Mitt Romney is a "natural born citizen." Since I proved above that George Romney was an American Citizen, and since Mitt Romney was both Born to American Parents and born IN the United States, I can safely conclude that he is most certainly a Natural Born Citizen of the United States, and is therefore eligible to be President. (Not that we would want him, but he is Eligible.)
