You Obama supporters must be getting REALLY desperate and scared to bring this up.
I don't blame you!!! If my candidates record was as pathetic as Obama's I'd be pretty damn nervous too.
This thread is very telling...

If you read my linked article, it says that a journalist did raise this issue back in 1968 but it was never pursued because George dropped out of the race before it became necessary. He dropped out of the race on Feb. 28, 1968.

Not only is Romney's allegiance to America in question due to his Mexican roots, but the fact that his family moved to America on the taxpayer dime really brings into question his fiscally conservative principles.

i don't understand this at all but, does this mean ron paul is going to win?
because that would be awesome.
No, Mr. Paul is still going to lose. Romney is a natural born citizen the thread is a jab at birther claims that suggest you have to have "Both parents be natural born citizens" to be president.

The way it went I think was Romney's Grandparents (Americans) moved to Mexico for a short time.
Romney's Father (George) was born in Mexico to Two American citizens.
I don't think Romney has any Spanish bloodline or Native American/Mexican bloodline.
Does He ??
Are you under the impression that Romney's Grandparents were of Mexican heritage ?
I don't know.
I dunno, he's a relatively handsome guy with black hair, there may be some hispanic or Native American blood in there somewhere...or maybe some Italian or something, but heck, most of the country has one or the other and it wouldn't really matter anyway
The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term “natural born” citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “by birth” or “at birth,” either by being born “in” the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship “at birth.” Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an “alien” required to go through the legal process of “naturalization” to become a U.S. citizen.

When a American votes in a foreign election they void their citizenship.
Absolutely not true. Neither US nor Canadian citizenship law says anything about losing citizenship as a result of voting in an election in another country. Note that US law used to mandate loss of US citizenship for voting in a foreign election. However, this provision was struck down by the Supreme Court in Afroyim v. Rusk and was repealed by Congress in 1978.
Only the Jews are exempt from this law.
