Is Republican Presidential Candidate Governor Mitt Romney eligible or ineligible to be a U.S. President?
Article II, Section 1 Clause 5 of the U. S. Constitution states: “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”
A Natural Born Citizen requires BOTH parents to be Citizens. United States Supreme Court Minor v. Happersett, 154 U.S. 116, 167 (1874).
Like Barack Hussein Obama’s father who was born in Kenya, Willard Mitt Romney’s father, George W. Romney, was born in Mexico; so this would—as it would seem for Obama—disqualify him from assuming the U. S. Presidency.
On the Monday evening news of January 9, 2012, MSNBC's Brian Williams brought up the question about Romney’s Mexican roots and this short video was posted on Youtube.
The Republican Party and other news outlets should seriously address the question of whether Mitt Romney is eligible or ineligible to be a U. S. President in the near future.
The Post & Email, however, has not failed to bring up the issue also, in John Sutherland’s January 7, 2012 letter to the editor, from which we extract the following excerpt:
“As you may be aware, 2008 was the first American election year in which neither primary candidate was a natural born citizen (yes, McCain was born on Panamanian soil, not U.S. soil). With the GOP party favorites at this time being Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, you should be aware that both of them have possible natural born citizenship problems. Mitt Romney’s father was born in Mexico, making him a Mexican national according to Mexican law, and if George Romney didn’t naturalize by the time Mitt was born, Mitt Romney would not qualify as a natural born citizen. Rick Santorum has a similar potential problem because his father was born in Italy, and if he did not naturalize before Rick was born, then Rick Santorum is also not a natural born citizen. There must be some sort of conspiracy to destroy the natural born citizenship requirement of the Constitution because with 300+ million people in America, the odds against every viable candidate in two four-year election cycles in a row being in violation of the natural born citizenship requirement are extremely small, maybe nil. Regardless, it must be stopped.

Pertinent Notes
Is Mitt Romney a natural-born citizen?
In a lengthy and detailed article recently,
WorldNetDaily reported: “Judging by the Happersett decision and most interpretations of the eligibility clause, a president’s parents would only have to be citizens of the U.S. at the time of his or her birth, not natural-born citizens. Therefore, even if George W. Romney’s birth in Mexico disqualified him from being a natural-born citizen, Mitt Romney could be a natural-born citizen, because his father was a citizen when his son was born.
Also, WND has reported that according to the standard that both parents must be U.S. citizens at the time of birth, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana would not qualify. Both have been discussed as future presidential candidates.”
“Bottom line, Natural Born Citizenship is passed via the Father's bloodline, just like the surname and all other birth rights.
For Obama or Romney to be a Natural Born Citizen of the USA, their birth Father had to be a legal Citizen of the USA at the time of their respective births. Romney's was, Obama's wasn't.
Jindal and Rubio both have the same problem Obama has by the way. But McCain and Romney were both born to Father's who were US Citizen at the time of their births.
Where on earth any of them were born only pertains to their Native Born status.”—JB Williams
