Romney Family Files: Fled to Mexico Due to a Polygamy Ban..

Mitt Romney's father, George S. Romney was born in Mexico in the Colonia Dublan colony in 1907. It's not surprising that a Birther-type discussion was raised about George Romney either. (pg. 53)

As his parents had retained their American citizenship, experts on constitutional law believe his birth in Mexico is no bar to George Romney becoming a candidate for President regardless of the U.S. Constitution's clause: "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 for the office of President." No court has interpreted this clause but children born abroad or at sea have been considered "natural-born" citizens for passports and other privileges. If astrology is to be believed, those born in July are receptive to new ideas and adapted to catering to public needs.

This is an excerpt from Crooks and Liars...http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/romneys-grandfathers-polygamist-fled-me

If Romney gets the nomination, perhaps the birthers will re-direct their angst...LOL..
