Of course Romney won’t raise the issue. George Romney never signed his citizenship papers (required at age of majority for those born abroad to American parents), so he was an American resident, not an American citizen.

Not only that, Mitt can just sign a declaration and become a Mexican citizen having been born to a Mexican father.

The 0nly difference between BO and MR is skin color.

I never heard that Romney’s father didn’t sign needed citizenship papers. Do you know any more about this?

Really? Where's your evidence?

I guess I will post this again every week or so. Anyone who thinks that the citizenship of the parents has any legal impact on eligibility of a person to hold the office of President under Article II, Section 1 is not being realistic.

Real Constitutional Lawyers react to this argument the same way the ALJ in Georgia did; the same way the well known Constitutional Lawyer who wrote the Congressional Research Service opinion did; the same way the academic Constitutional Law bar reacts--we don't listen to the argument because it is settled law that a person born in the United States under any circumstances is a Natural Born Citizen for all purposes.

The difference between Mitt Romney and the individual presently living in the White House as nominal President is that Romney was born in the United States; there is no evidence that Zero was born in the United States--in fact the only admissible evidence in the public record is that he was born in Mombasa Kenya.

Although I do not believe Zero was in fact born in Kenya, the record should be sufficient to put the burden of proof on him to show where he was born and competent counsel would create that kind of record in a proceeding instead of wasting a court's time on this flaky argument about citizenship of parents that has no merit.
